We had an awesome Thanksgiving dinner this afternoon. I made everything except the asparagus, so I feel pretty accomplished today.
Our Menu:
Turkey with Potatoes, Carrots and Onions
Mashed Potatoes (a la Good Eats)
Stuffing (from a bag)
Candied Yams with Marshmallows (not for me - thanks, though)
Asparagus
Pumpkin Empanadas
Cranberry-Pear Pie
Everything was yummy. We put Alliclaus to bed and I had a couple of grown-up beverages, so I'm not entirely clearheaded for posting tonight.
I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow, since Joshiclaus and Auntie Sarah are in town.
Pumpklin empanadas sound delish! I am sure it was a lovely dinner and now you get to enjoy all those yummy leftovers!

That sounds awesome! I had a lot of great food too! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for food - you can't beat the heavenly sides!

What is with yams and marshmallows this year? My mother has a good family recipe for yams which she tossed aside this year in favor of something featuring marshmallows. To each his own, of course, but my head still can't wrap itself around the idea of marshmallows on top of vegetables.
Pumpkin empanadas, on the other hand, sound fabulous.
Excellent blog, btw.
