Thanksgiving 2006 - A Culinary Report

Bobby Flay ain’t got nuthin’ on us:

Roast Turkey with Chili Cacao Rub and Red Móle Gravy
Wild Rice Stuffing with Cranberries and Toasted Almonds
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Fresh Cranberry Citrus Relish
Sauteed Asparagus with Wild Mushrooms
Pumpkin Pie with Heavy Whipped Cream and Mexican Chocolate Sauce
Sea Smoke Cellars “Southing” Pinot Noir 2004

If you want to know how to make any of these items, let me know. I’d usually write down the instructions, but I’m too busy with children and holidays and everything else. It goes without saying that the above meal was unbelievably delicious and will never happen again in quite the same way.

If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend you pick up a bottle of Sea Smoke Cellars pinot noir. Their 2004 “Southing” is transcendental, the sort of wine that grabs hold of your soul, forcing you to pause and reflect for a moment while you reel beneath a many-layered sensory assault. Wow! I won’t mention the price. Let’s just say it was worth every penny.

Cheers!
