Since the girls have the week off school, we normally try and travel for Thanksgiving. But Kim had some work and Margot had some party invites, so we hung out locally and I took the opportunity to make my first full thanksgiving meal in maybe 15+ years, and the first ever with the girls. Took the opportunity to try a few new recipes.

It turned out pretty exceptionally, if I do say so myself. Was fun to work with the girls.

Dry brined and spatchcocked turkey was juicy and delicious.

Made 2 types of stuffing, both of which were really good.

New recipes:

#35/52 – Green Beans with Maple pecans – super super yummy.

#36/52 – Roasted carrots with Honey Balsamic Herb butter

#37/52 – Thomas Keller Potatoes Pave – started these yesterday. Basically fancy scalloped potatoes. Kind of a fair bit of work for potatoes, but man they were delicious.

#38/52 Apple Pie – not new for me, but I taught Margot how to make it. Made with apples from our tree and it was delicious.
