For breakfast this morning I am making the pumpkin oatmeal muffins that I saw over at Savor the Thyme. I'm making slight modifications, so I hope they turn out well. (Plain yogurt comes in 6 oz. containers and I wasn't going to buy two to have a full cup. We always eat vanilla yogurt. The recipe calls for two cups of pumpkin puree, but a can has just under that.) I also only have Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats in my pantry. (Boy I wish I had time to cook those on the stove top each morning.) I hope those are okay; the recipe doesn't specify.What am I taking to relatives today? Besides my Quorn Turk'y Roast that will be consumed by no one other than me and my children, I am taking layered sugar-free jello. Why? Because my daughter can have as much as she likes and I don't have to count the carbs. That and every other required menu item seemed to be covered already.
You know what happens when we head north for Thanksgiving (or other holidays)...relatives never eat what I take anyway. No matter how much I slave. Read my post Pass the Rolls, But Not the Jello to see what happened last time. We are actually heading south this Thanksgiving, so maybe my jello will be consumed. I've totally given up presenting culinary delights to extended family.
I'm making a second Turk'y Roast so that we actually have leftovers. My plan is to make open-faced hot turkey sandwiches. Bittman
let me down and didn't have a simple gravy recipe. Do you know how hard it is to find a gravy mix that doesn't have chicken or beef solids or broth? I found a country gravy mix, not exactly what I wanted. But then again I was not going to go to a second store just to get vegetarian gravy mix.What am I most thankful for (food-wise)? I scored a bottle of Georges Deboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau at the grocery store. It is the quintessential Thanksgiving wine and is released for sale at 12:01 a.m. on the third Thursday of November. Just don't put ice cubes in it. (Yes, people have sullied my precious procurement with ice cubes. Sacre bleu!) You may however serve it slightly chilled.
It's actually an interesting story why this wine is so unique. And why if you'd like to try it, you better grab a bottle or two in the coming weeks. I wanted a bottle at Christmas last year and couldn't find one. Read the "Facts & Tips" at George Deboeuf.
Happy (fake) turkey day!
SYTYCD
Totally unrelated, but I am thankful for moving dance performances.
It's difficult to believe that Ashleigh is a ballroom dancer. And I think Jakob's flexibility and extension is criminal.
(And no, no one on SYTYCD this season spells their name the traditional way.)
Fast forward to the 1:15 mark. The actually performance is only about 90 seconds.
