Even though it was just the two of us, we still had a full blow-out Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was perfect and so tender we didn't even need a knife to cut it (on our plate, that is) and, with my pre-made stock base, I was able to make about 2 quarts of rich, dark gravy. It was so good we wanted to swim in it. Buck suggested we have turkey fondue - turkey bites dipped in the gravy. I half considered the idea. I'll definitely make the stock base again.
Tried Tyler Florence's sweet potato/banana dish and it was absolutely delicious. I accidentially got a spoonful of my cranberry chutney with a bite of the sweet potatoes when I was eating. What a combo! Might be good mixed together. Gotta play with this one.
We ate right on time and took our time. After an hour, we were still leisurely picking at our plates. Never got to the pumpkin pie. Definitely will have it tonight.
All in all, would have to say our meal was the best ever.
