[SCA-Cooks] Thanksgiving feasts

[morgancain at earthlink.net]

We were also fairly traditional:

    Turkey (roasted, which is my brother's preference,
             as we were at his house) - fruit inside to flavour
    Dressing (sage-herb, celery, white bread - Mom's recipe)
    Cranberry sauce (canned, jellied - by popular vote)
    Baked sweet potatoes
    Brussels sprouts with garlic
    Green salad with chopped veggies, olive-oil dressing
    Two kinds of bread - nixtamal and cornmeal-walnut - and butter
    Gravy (traditional, more-or-less - my brother made it)

And for dessert (a couple hours later):
    Pumpkin pie
    Sugar-free apple pie
    Pecan pie (which I think had all the sugar from the apple pie...)
    Vanilla ice-cream (sugar-free)

With the exception of the nursing baby, everybody ate some of everything, and my 16-month-old niece has a new word in her vocabulary:  "Pie!"

We had leftovers on Friday (except that we had birthday cake for dessert) and took turkey sandwiches when we left on Saturday morning.  I also took a walnut-cranberry stuffed bread for breakfasting.
