Hudson and Lily spent Thanksgiving with their mother, so Randy and I had a quiet day, I cooked and Randy watched. Hahaha! He's a good re-heater, but as far as cooking, I'd rather do it alone! So all in all, we had a nice peaceful day, with just enough food for the two of us! I forgot to take a picture of my homemade cheesecakes! It was scrumptious! And we still have one left!
Say hello to Tom, or goodbye really. He was delicious! I'll be honest, while I have roasted plenty of whole chickens, I knew Tom here would be completely different. But after watching the Food Network the weekend before, I found what makes the turkey keep its moisture and flavor! It's called brining. And if you ever cook a turkey, please take the time to brine the silly bird! You won't be sorry!
Here's our spread! Just enough for the two of us! And it was quite tasty! The only pre-made thing we ate were the brown-and-serve dinner rolls. Some herb bread would've been nice, but I have no clue (Mom!) how to make that stuff! Anyways, I had a great time trying new recipes and enjoying myself in the kitchen. I even made the stuffing from scratch! So, our menu was: turkey, corn, rolls, butternut squash, stuffing, and cream potatoes (for you northerners, cream potatoes are really just mashed potatoes with cream, butter, cheese, and I throw in a secret ingredient along with some herbs). And of course the cheesecake for dessert!
