Our Thanksgiving Update No. 3...

Energies are flagging a bit, I would say, yet there is much cooking and eating and eating and cooking to go.

For the turkey, we combined two recipes, focusing on roasted garlic butter, lemon, and rosemary.  Marie became really skilled at shoving extra slices of the lemon between the skin and the meat.

Not having cooking twine, we used barbecue skewers.  This is what the turkey looks like cooking!

Our next appetizer was Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus!

Needless to say, this appetizer did not last long at all.  So, we had to move on to the next one:

Yes, we made crescent roll tartlets!  The fillings are as follows:

• broccoli, smoked gouda cheese with bacon
• homemade sun dried tomato pesto, seared artichoke, and feta
• applewood smoked bacon, sweet potato, parmesan, and thyme
• raw milk cheddar cheese, prosciutto, and Granny Smith apple
• goat cheese with raspberry balsamic glaze

Needless to say, we are already enjoying the food ... and our second bottle of wine.

I am rather worried about the stuffing, though.  It is exploding out of the crockpot.

Lord, have mercy.  Christ, have mercy.  Lord, have mercy!
