| | Or at least a glimpse of what we had for the big dinner. Alfred and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner for a few people who were not traveling home for the holiday.
There's Alfred, hard at work chopping up collard greens.
Collards waiting to be chopped up, my pumpkin pie, one of the 2 loaves of challah, and you can see the turkey in the oven. Usually our challah has raisins in it, but we figured they might not go so well with turkey and gravy. The pie recipe I used this year came straight our of the latest issue of Cook's Illustrated. So freaking delicious, if you like fragrant, smooth, silky pumpkin pie. I do think it is the best pumpkin pie filling I have ever made and tasted. I'm just sad that there is just one slice left.
Turkey, pie, challah, collards. Our guests brought sweet potatos and mashed potatos. Other yummy dishes that graced the table were a fantastic crab and butternut squash bisque, green beans with cherry tomatos and fresh mozzerella cheese, and a plaintain loaf. Of course, there was also plenty to drink.
Turkey! We followed the recipe in the same issue of Cook's Illustrated, if you're curious.
So I have to say that dinner was a success and we are currently enjoying the leftovers!
