Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends. We celebrated at our apartment this year and decided to venture out into the world of holiday food. How did it turn out? Here's the general report card:
Salad (greens with walnuts, carrots, gorgonzola, pomegranate seeds, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing): Really good. Almost as good as the salad at Quivey's Grove in Madison.
Turkey breast: Amazing, moist. I don't know if it was really truly amazing, or just far better than we thought we could do on our first try. Those oven roasting bags really work.
Roasted red potatoes with rosemary and thyme: Kind of boring.
Sauteed artichokes with thyme and lemon: Generally pronounced the flop of the meal. All that work and money for such a tiny bit of edible product. Oh well, we learned more about the anatomy of a fresh artichoke anyway.
Rye and Dried Cherry Bread: Considered the biggest question mark of the meal, and it turned out really well for bread I made myself. The texture was almost right, with good flavor. Braden pronounced it "almost as good as my dad's" which is an extremely high compliment.
Pumpkin Pie: Still too full to try it, but it smells good, so we'll leave it at that for now.
Hope all of you are well and enjoying the day!
