What are you making for Thanksgiving this year?
yum! this all looks so good, I'm not doing the majority of cooking but I am going to make a Baked Brie, maybe another dish too if inspiration strikes!
ReplyDeleteOh Gosh this looks so good and fancy! I am bringing Thanksgiving to my boyfriends French family and neighbors in France.... The idea is to stick to the classics! We will see how they like it... Though... I am loving your cocktail... whats the recipe?
ReplyDeleteI figure it's worth learning to cook the full meal really well while it's just Rene and I sooner or later it's going to end up being me cookies for full families (eventually)....
ReplyDeleteCocktail recipe! It's savory and sweet so not all sugary--* 2 1/2 ounces vodka,* 2 ounces walnut liqueur, we got Nocello
Garnish with * 3 fresh cranberries* 1 sprig rosemary * 1 walnut, toasted
Toasted walnut in the bottom of the glass, then use the rosemary as a stir stick and stick the cranberries onto it leaving a little bit of rosemary out of the top...(compliments of the November food network magazine)
*correct that I'll be cooking for the family not cookies!
