Thanksgiving

I spent the day cooking and then is 8 minutes it was gone. The feeding frenzy was relentless. I did my first turkey ever. I did it in a cooking bag with rosemary, parsley and sage. The parsley and sage is still growing outside the back door of Ursula's Wine Bar & Cafe. The bag was pretty cool, we got gallons of gravy. Besides the turkey we had mashed potatoes and yams. The yams were cubed and baked with brown sugar and butter, I love yams. The stuffing this year was cornbread stuffing, cornbread was substituted for bread and met with lukewarm reviews, I loved it but my opinion was not in the majority. We had traditional green bean casserole, meatballs, lime jello and a mixed green salad with candied walnuts, apple, blue cheese and a maple vinaigrette. We finished with pumpkin and pecan pie. To tie it all together we had Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel. It had marvelous brambly fruit and nice pepper on the finish. Skol.
