Stuffing for Breakfast
Posted to Technology category
It's national appliance-using day
So far today, I have baked squash and pumpkins, and pureed the pumpkins (food processor), roasted potatoes, made my usual stuffing (stand mixer and food grinder), put the turkey in to roast in my fancy oven (I'm using Alton Brown's recipe, same as last year) and made stuffed celery.
Later today, I may make some pumpkin pies and some eggnog (which will use the blender).
The dishwasher is on it's third load, and I've washed a bunch of stuff in the sink...
I ate some of the stuffing mixture -- bread, ground cooked meats and veggies, and broth -- for breakfast. The rest of the stuffing is baking in a corningware next to the turkey.
Ounce for ounce, I think the most expensive item on my menu today is the stuffed celery I'm nibbling on as an appetizer. I was able to find goat cream-cheese this year but it costs about five times as much as cow cream cheese. But having proper stuffed celery makes it feel like Thanksgiving.
Soon I will take the turkey and stuffing out of the oven, make gravy, and reheat the potatoes and squash.
Then I will eat. Lots.
Spending a day cooking makes a nice change. I've been on a paying gig since last Wednesday and also worked on some computer side projects, so this has been a very busy week.
