Going to the nephew’s place in Miami. His wife has a ton of I think Cuban relatives, so it will be interesting. I may even get away without being stuck in the kitchen! |

We are moving to our new house this weekend, so my kitchen is all in boxes. Our neighbors invited us for Thanksgiving, so we're having whatever they offer us. I think this is the first time in my adult life I haven't participate in the meal to some extent. |

I made reservations for Thanksgiving! We're meeting my mother-in-law nearer to her place than ours. It's a smorgasbord and everyone will be happy. Only problem, no leftovers, so I will need to create those. Most likely with a turkey breast and fixings. Happy Thanksgiving to all who remain! Josh-You must be glad to be out of San Fran with the fires and the extremely poor air quality. I wonder when/if the air will hit the east coast. So sad. |

I am going over to a friend's house. Last year, Mom passed away shortly before TG, so he had me over then, too, and I made a mistake - I made a Butterscutch Pumpkin pie, which I have been making for family get togethers since 2008, which is when bon appétit published the recipe. Just about everyone that tried it got hooked on it, so I had to keep making it. It is a true butterscotch, with scotch in the whipped cream, as well. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pumpk ... scotch-pie The previous pumpkin pie that I made for many years (I have always been the baker for these dinners) was one from an old Gourmet magazine, which had 1/4 c cognac in it. Hmmmm, do you notice a pattern here in what the family likes? Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! |

Sorry for your loss, Dave. The butterscotch pie looks amazing. Any particular type of scotch you use/like? Happy Thanksgiving! |

Ivy, yes, I'm very glad to not be in California this week. Dave, my sympathies on your mom's passing. |

So, I've figured things out. This year's theme is "Basque food". 1st course: Pintxos - beets, cucumber, and Zamorano cheese - boquerones, olives, and peppers - basque sausage, peppers and tomatoes - goat cheese and caramelized pearl onions 2nd course: - Salt cod, crab, and cider gratins - Basque leek tart - White bean, manchego, and apple salad Dessert: - Gateau Basque |

Thanks for your thoughts. Fuzzy, that looks like a good menu! I'm always open to non-traditional things like that! Ivy, I don't even remember what scotch it is - nothing expensive, for sure, since it is added to the hot caramel, and any nuances of an expensive scotch would be lost. |
