Thanksgiving 2013 Menus

[SylviaLovegren]

Thanksgiving Bread - rye and wheat flours, rye starter, pecans, cranberries, bourbon and orange juice.

I'm in trouble with my American customers if the goods are not produced.

How hard is it to find cranberries and pecans where you are? The bread looks beautiful.

Thanks. The problem isn't finding them - the wholesaler who supplies my flour and other ingredients stocks cranberries and pecans but they have become seriously expensive, like other nuts and grains. I'm sure that's not confined to the UK.

As for the bourbon I follow my nose and hang the expense.

dcarch, love the carets! Your creation, or a borrowed idea? How did you keep the purple in the asparagus? It usually fades to yuck green!

Thanks Judiu.

I think I invented the "Caret" cut of carrots a few years ago. May be not? I searched and searched Google Image, I had not come across anything similar. I would love to know if anyone had done it before me. The cut away carrot pieces are used for making smoothies, not wasted.

For the asparagus, if you don't overcook them, they will still be purple.
