Thanksgiving report?
So, how'd everyone's food turn out? Everything went great here, though I'm definitely feeling the aftereffects of too much rich food today. In addition to the things I said I would make (spinach/cabbage gratin, green beans with brown butter & hazelnuts, mashed sweet potatoes with sugared pecans; pumpkin pie, pumpkin cream cheese pie, triple chocolate cookies), I also ended up serving blanched asparagus with mustard cream sauce.
All the vegetable dishes were winners, particularly the (very rich) gratin. Next time I'll chop my hazelnuts more finely so they cling to the beans, and I may reduce the cream before adding the mustard so it clings better to the asparagus. I used a sweet-hot mustard (locally-produced Beaver brand) instead of plain dijon, and it was delicious.
