thanksgiving meal - planning

• Roasted root veggies: carrots, onions, garlic, rutabaga, turnip, tomato. maybe radishes.

last year we did veg in a wonderful chipotle-garlic-olive oil marinade, and may repeat that.
We also had a fancy roulade stuffed with root veg and I don't really feel the need to repeat it, though it was very good.

(what, we need something else?) I'm thinking about it.

• what about the perfect soup - with the above goodness, just a very light broth-based something (like the fennel soup somewhere on this blog) with home made croutons or garlic bread? or a good loaf of home made bread, warm from the oven, with an herb-butter spread. this might be a good starter.
• spinach salad
• fresh green beans with sesame seeds (a request)

to be continued!



dessert. right, dessert ;) ONE of us wants strawberry-rhubarb pie, and though I think this is more a spring thing, I have no serious objections. he does make a mean pie! I insist on a home made crust, though.
