Hi, Thursday. I am still sick- feverish and sore throated and generally
yucky, but hope to be on the mend soon. I have to get better because
Thanksgiving is next week and it's simply my favorite holiday of the year,
especially when I get to spend it in the Northeast, with a nip in the air
and that sense of tradition that only comes from that part of the country.
Maybe I'll even escape to New York for a day- we usually go en famille to
Black Friday there, which is daring but super fun. Super shopping aside,
let's talk about what really makes Thanksgiving special, and that's the
food.
for foodies. The recipes are outstanding, and if you're up for it, you may
want to try one of their themed Thanksgiving recipes for this year- I'm
feeling lust over the French Thanksgiving, complete with sage brined roast
turkey with oyster stuffing. And don't even get me started on the French
pumpkin pie. Amazing. Thanksgiving is the best meal of the year, hands down.
And the leftovers are pretty stellar too. As I sit here with cough drops and
licorice tea, I'm hoping my taste buds return for next week's festivities.
And if you're up for trying something new, I highly recommend consulting
Saveur for some super recipes. Here's the sage brined turkey recipe...let me
know if you try it: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Sage-Brined-Roast-Turkey-with-Oyster-D
