Dispensing Happiness: Thanksgiving Menu; or, If The Pilgrims Were French

A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness.-Elsa Schiapirelli

That's me, the magical good cook.

Borrowing from my friend Dexygus, I've created my own food blog.

Read of my exploits in the kitchen! Salivate over the descriptions of fabulous desserts and savory meals I've concocted!

No, seriously...go ahead. It'll make my day.

10 Thoughts for food:

At 9:58 AM, Laura said...: that sounds absolutely wonderful. i love game hens on a holiday -- made some last Christmas and served them cold -- and the asparagus sounds really yummy. Good luck with that and enjoy!
At 11:05 AM, Stephanie said...: Thanks, Laura!

Matt doesn't like turkey. I no longer eat it (grumble, grumble), so getting a turkey to feed 2-3 people (we're just having his parents over) didn't make sense.

This way, everyone gets something fabulous, and we cut down on left-overs!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving; everything sounds really delicious, especially the lentil ravioli.
At 12:56 PM, Stephanie said...: Only if someone eats them...!

Thanks, and you too!

At 5:09 PM, Stephanie said...: Thank you, Indira!

Yes, I'll be posting. Possibly as early as Thursday night. Depends on how tired we are!
At 3:54 PM, Anonymous said...: Um, I just wanna come for the cheese tray! It's hard to be a pregnant chick and know that people are eating yummy cheeses that I'm not supposed to touch!
At 7:27 PM, Stephanie said...: Oh, Cristy; I feel your pain!

When I was pregnant with Alex, it seemed like my in-laws were using taboo-cheeses every time we went there to eat.

Complete torture!
