First Thanksgiving

Jack was laid back as usual through a full-length Thanksgiving meal tonite. He had apple puffs and a brussel sprout (and a little butternut squash) while we had:

* roast turkey with prune/apricot/cumin butter and pan gravy
* fruit compote with prunes, apricots, currants, pinenuts and brandy
* brussel sprouts with apples, shallots, and bacon
* sage stuffing with chicken apple sausage
* black wild rice (Japonica) with roasted butternut squash and dried cranberries
* roasted sweet potatoes with sherry, sage, and thyme
* whole cranberry sauce with apples and orange peel
* pineapple upsidedown cake with vanilla bean ice cream (thanks Claire!)
* homemade pumpkin pie (thanks Tartine!)
