I'm happy to report that my Thanksgiving meal with the neighbors was a success. Shawn deep-fried the turkey in his backyard and the results were truly magnificent. Amy's mashed potatoes were literally swimming in butter--in a good way and, while my rolls weren't perfect looking, they tasted pretty darn good. For some reason I'm not able to post photos from home, so you'll have to wait until Wednesday for visual proof.
I made the cheesecake and it, too turned out scrumptious. It wasn't as hard as I'd imagined. The water bath made me super nervous. I was worried that I hadn't wrapped the foil high enough around the sides of the spring form pan to keep the water out. My fear grew when I removed the foil from the pan and water pooled out. In the end, everything was okay and the crust remained crunchy. I skipped the part about sugaring the almonds and served the cheesecake garnished just with the brown sugar whipped cream. I didn’t hear any complaints.
And you? What was your most successful Thanksgiving dish?
