Shabbat Food, Thanksgiving Weekend

Yesterday we hosted for Shabbat lunch. I made the following:
-- Roasted turkey
-- Herbed stuffing
-- Mashed potatoes
-- Roasted squash

([personal profile] mabfan is quite fond of Thanksgiving food, and we have a tradition of Shushan Thanksgiving/Thanksgiving Sheini/Sfeika d'Yoma) in our household.)

Our guests brought cookies that served as dessert. A fine time was had, five children (two of ours, three of our guests') ran around and were generally silly, and the adults had good conversation.

So now, even though we did not host actual Thanksgiving, we can still participate in the mitzvah of post-Thanksgiving turkey leftovers.

Mmmmm.

We usually do Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving itself, but this year we had a wedding on the day, so we decided that Thanksgiving is nidcheh to Friday night.

Not a big enough crowd to be worth making a whole turkey, so I did roast chicken instead, but for side dishes we had cornmeal pudding, mashed turnips-and-potatoes, and sourdough bread stuffing with turkey sausage and dried blueberries, and my mother-in-law made cranberry-raspberry relish. Dessert was apple pie with coconut cream.

Om nom nom tasty fooooods.

I justify the huge amount of food on T-giving by the fact that I then don't have to cook for Shabbos. :-)
