it all started wednesday with a last minute trip to the store, where the task was to find the largest turkey available to feed 14 hungry souls.
why we had a vegetarian pick out the bird remains a mystery.
a traditional, yet the most controversial, dish in our household is always the green bean casserole. people either love it or hate it. this year, it was the first thing to disappear. i think that is testimony enough.
after its arrival home and short getting-to-know-you session, the turkey had to make its last outing to ashbloem's for brining (and additional sauna and massage treatments).
here is ashbloem with turkey in tow.
the gorgeous result.
dinner time.
here was our spread after about midway through the evening. check out all the pies!! why do pictures of food, no matter how delicious the meal actually was, look so awful?
this picture just cracks me up.
It was worth recreating my Blogspot identity to let you know that green bean casserole is a hands-down favorite in my house, too. It is the last remnant of my father's childhood amid a sea of hoity-toity Bon Appetit and Food & Wine recipes. And anyway, why do those little cans of french fried onions exisit if not for green bean casserole?
