As many of you know, yesterday was Thanksgiving. Dylan and I went over to our friends Sarah and Frank's place.
I made a sweet potato pie. Steamy sweet potatoes:
And the stuffing! It turned out a lot like great grandma Bea's stuffing, which was a nice. I think it's because I used plain white sandwich bread.
I also made a green bean casserole with fresh green beans, a homemade mushroom sauce, and homemade fried shallots. I will admit, the fried shallots were a bit of a pain to make, so I'll probably just buy the canned ones next year.
The menu:
Thanksgiving for four...
Dylan basting his tofurkey ball.
Watching some football.
Sarah and Frank getting it ready.
Carving the turkey.
Pickles wants some turkey!
Look at this glorious feast! I made the sweet potato pie with pecans on top, the stuffing, and the green bean casserole. Sarah made the apple pie with amazing crust, the cream cheese corn, the cranberry relish. Dylan made the tofurkey.
Frank made the mashed potatoes and the cornbread. Sarah also made this amazing turkey and the gravy.
My first plate.
Happy Thanksgiving! Now it's time to get into the Christmas spirit!

That looks like a hell of a feast, and the green bean casserole sounds awesome. What all was in the mushroom sauce?
Also, the knife plunged into the tofurkey in that one shot? very festive!
You have a food blog! I love it! I like the Sandra Lee reference. Nice nature photos, too.
For the mushroom sauce:
melt 1/2 stick of butter, add pound of chopped shrooms, cook for awhile, season w/ s&p, add 1/4 c. flour, gradually add can of broth, stir in cup of whole milk, and simmer.
