Pre-Thanks Cooking

Today Alex and Caitlin spent much of the day in the kitchen preparing for The Epic 47th Street House Thanksgiving Feast Extravaganza.

On the menu:

Chrissy's making:
Mashed taters
Roasted ass chicken
Chicken Gravy
Green Bean Casserole (with bacon possibly making an appearance)

Alex's making:
"Hippy Dippy Vegan Shit", i.e. Lentil Cashew Lofe
The Freshest Cranberry Sauce (with Ginger)
Mushroom Gravy
Vegetable Stock, for the gravy and the stuffing
Stuffing

Caitlin's making:
Cranberry Orange Nut Bread (and Muffins)
Okra and Tomatoes
Key Lime Pie

So here are some sweet prep shots of the dishes and the chefs:

Alex chops celery for his Hippy Dippy Vegan Shit

This may look like a somewhat gloppy cat food at the moment, but tomorrow it will be a glorious vegan Thanksgiving masterpiece

Okra, prepped for Okra and Tomatoes, one of Caitlin's all-time favorite dishes. Fresh from Worden Farm!

Muffins of Glory.

The loaf version of above muffins.

Cranberries and ginger. Freaking awesome combo.

Casey, Devin, Zac, Tacy and Hannah are all out of town with family for Thanksgiving, and while Evan is still in town, he'll be with family up in Bradenton for the day, so we're having a motley crüe of wonderful people over for dinner.

Caitlin, who is a champion at sleeping in, woke up early this morning with such excitement about the coming cooking (and resultant, impending eating), that she was unable to stay in bed and laze. Alex joined in and then they listened to the new Kanye album and Captain Beefheart and Dirty Projectors and now tomorrow will be super easy.

Hot dog!
Thanksgiving!
