Week 53

Ahh, Thanksgiving hangover.  I was just reading on  a blog (Dinner: A Love Story) about how the planning of the the Thanksgiving menu is sometimes more enjoyable than the food.  I concur!  Although, I love food, the eating of the Thanksgiving grand meal, never lives up to the planning of it...  Maybe it's the exhaustion of caramelizing a meringue for a lemon pie the night before (anytime the candy thermometer comes out, I think I need a xanax...), or maybe it's just how quickly it is all gobbled up.  I don't know.  But what I do know, is that the pies I made were AWESOME.  Hooray!  Brussel Sprouts need to be made right before the meal, and the make-ahead mashed potatoes were fabulous.  As usual.

So here is this week:

Farro and Bean Stew + Bread

Asparagus and Quinoa

Mushroom Burguinion

Turkey Burgers with Mango Chutney + Cous cous salad

Salmon and Wild Rice

Panna Cotta Trifle (for a bit of a treat)
