This site is a place to record things of interest to me.
I usually start planning the Thanksgiving meal a month or so ahead of time. Even though I make the same thing every year, it’s always with subtle variation. This was my first year roasting a Mary’s Free-Range turkey and after having had one, I’ll never buy another Butterball or Honeysuckle ever again (if I can help it).
Note to self… In future, use much less white wine to deglaze the roasting pan.
I ordered this cookbook last month and just received a bookplate, signed by Jacques Pépin himself, from the publisher.
As much as I’d like the Enterprise to adorn the top of the tree, I just can’t part with the ribbons and bow that I’ve used for decades. Tradition, I guess.
Because the trashcan is nearly four feet away, I put the empty can under the kitchen table intending on throwing it out. One year later, this is what was found when I finally got around to it. Three more cans from the previous year were found after this photo was taken.
