Now that the day is upon us (for those of us in the USA), how many and what sides are you actually serving today?
I got to wondering after Sam Sifton from the NYT mentioned that he is making 4 sides for a dinner for 30 - including lobster mac and cheese. We added one extra, but a couple of them are quick/easy to make and we roasted the sweet potatoes and apples last night - along with some other prep work:
Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Apples
Crispy Brussels Sprouts Hash
Roasted Cauliflower w/ Romesco Sauce
Mashed Potatoes
Copes Corn
Of course also turkey, stuffing/dressing, gravy, rolls, cranberry sauce, and desserts.
I am feeling good about the plan for today, but I may feel differently in about 8 hours. Nothing is all that difficult to make, but the last half hour or so always seems to be a mad dash. I am sure no one will go hungry, so hopefully I will be able to keep calm and enjoy myself today. I admire those of you who have truly mastered that particular skill.
Happy Thanksgiving!
