What did everyone have for side dishes? We had broccoli cheese gratin, garlic carrots in maple syrup, roasted potatoes, wild rice pecan corn bread dressing, and apple pie and chocolates for desserts.
DeLepp, wow, you had a late night. I was lucky that we had time to wash all of our dishes and roasting pans. I think the trick with the roasting pan is to cover the bottom with a layer of aluminium foil; makes washing up very easy afterwards.
hiya working stiffs, last guest left at 10:30 last night. Roaster was in tub this morning when I went to take shower. Tonight will be washing the stem ware.
I’m thankful that there is only 34 days left in this gd 2009.
Hey Biff, we had kids attending the dinner as well and so we consciously chose an early time of 5pm and were done by 7pm; this way, we still had time to give them a bathe and put them to bed.
I made my brined and roasted turkey like I always do every year. I added peppercorns, allspice berries, sage, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the brine so that the osmosis process delivers some of them into the turkey. The end result was a very well spiced and herby/earthy roasted turkey. SOoooo good!

I remember when 10:30 was actually an early night.
Ah, memories…
“were done by 7pm; this way, we still had time to give them a bathe and put them to bed.”

stevieb, anything with peppercorns always tastes better! Your turkey sounds good.
etson, with two young kids, Mrs C and I rarely eat before 8:30pm…we wait until they’re all set for bed. Eating at 7:30 pm would be early for us.
