(A sidestep is a non-Epicurean Historian post that highlights a delicious meal I made and/or ate. In other words, it’s a post of some 21st-century dish that I made/ate in the 21st century. It’s quite present-tense for my historical likings, but yummy in my tummy. By the way, could I make a 21st-century recipe in the 18th century? Felix, get working on that time-traveling-Delorean!)
I love Thanksgiving. Here are my reasons:
- Family
- Food
- Wine
- Food
- Catching up on reading (supposedly, though it never happens)
- Food
And this year did not disappoint in any of these areas. Nothing compares to cooking all day and eating the rest of it. First off, brunch.
Triple Ginger and Pecan Scones
Bacon, Spinach, and Gruyère Frittata
Fresh Fruit
Prosecco
It was just enough to fill us up for the ensuing cooking-xtravaganza. 6 hours later…
Curried Carrot Soup with Toasted Almonds
Prosecco (we really love sparkling!)
Turkey Roulade with Cranberry and Shitake Stuffing
Cider Gravy
Roasted Yukon Golds and Sweet Potatoes with Sage
Creamed Leek and Kale Gratin
Cranberry and Apple Chutney
Poppy’s Rolls (my wonderful grandfather’s rolls- Alabama certified!)
Georges DuBoeuf 2011 Beaujolais
Ahh, gastronomic bliss. A little political/historical conversation, interlaced with a little more wine, allowed for some time to elapse before…
Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake
Cappuccino with Cinnamon
I’m so thankful for my wonderful mother, father, sister, partner, Ted-cat, friends, professors, stipend-giving university, and the internet for providing me with a very inexpensive culinary education.
Happiness. Epicurean Happiness.
