coma
Friday, November 28th, 2008Although we only had 12 people here yesterday, i think I cooked enough for several dozen more. What a feast: brined turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, a cheese board, three pies.. and that’s just what I made, never mind what two of my sisters and my mom contributed. Thanks to a late night of pre-Thanksgiving cooking and a touch of insomnia for the past few nights, I am completely exhausted.
My youngest, who dressed up as a chef for Halloween, couldn’t have been happier helping me cook. He’s finally at an age where when he comes in the kitchen to help, he really does help! He couldn’t have been more disappointed when I sent him to bed Wednesday before I put the Yukon Golds through the potato ricer (my top Thanksgiving gadget of all time). He was in the kitchen before me, sorting dishes (and breaking wine glasses – whoops) and ready to get cooking.
What a kid. I think I’ve officially turned over Thanksgiving hosting duties to him, as of yesterday.
