‘‘Twas the night before thanksgiving… and I’m done with my part of prep (which was a lot less than in past years, phew)!
- Orange olive oil cake
- Brownies
Earlier today I made a double batch of stuffing balls, with a new-this-year addition of (chicken) sausage which offends no one (apparently mushrooms would have caused angst for at least one, so I had to forego them). These will be baked tomorrow, while the turkey rests, so they are still nice and crunchy on the outside when we eat them.
I also assembled the Brie en croute: medium-sized wheel of brie, ancho chile jam, puff pastry. The puff was not as cold as it should have been (which is a mystery given that it was in a very cold fridge) and so it’s probably not going to turn out as pretty as it might have… but oh well. Will be baked around 11:30am to be ready for grazing around brunch.
No mini quiches - idea was nixed by the hostess.
That’s it for me as far as I know, others are doing the rest. However in past years that has not always actually happened, so there may be more to do in the morning.
I’m not super excited that the vegetables are being roasted in the morning elsewhere, but again, oh well.
Good rest tonight and happy gathering tomorrow to all!
