Thanksgiving Eve

I know, I know, it's been forever since I've blogged. I haven't cooked a meal for myself in about 10 days. Yes, I am serious. Between night meetings with free food and eating out this weekend while friends were in town for Harvard-Yale, I haven't needed to cook! But now I'm home in Tampa for Thanksgiving, and there is a LOT of cooking going on. So expect several updates over the next couple days. Whee!

Here's our Thanksgiving menu this year. My mom picked out the recipes from Bon Appetit (of course). We're going to have way too much food for 6 people, but hey, there's nothing wrong with leftovers (or gluttony).

Appetizer
Crab Crostini

Soup
Butternut Squash and Apple Bisque

Main Course
Roast Organic Turkey with Port Wine Gravy
Roasted Green Beans and Radicchio with Garlic
Cauliflower with Mustard Lemon Butter
Caramelized Shallot and Sage Mashed Potatoes

Dessert
Pumpkin Tiramisu

This afternoon I made the tiramisu. The soup is in progress, and we're starting the crab mixture for the crostini.
