Hmmm...it seems that pulling cooking all-nighters and hunger distraction does terrible things to pictures...which is a shame since my partners in crime, Max and Alex, did such a beautiful job with the spread.
With any luck, one of the other guests will donate piccies to better represent this fabulous feast. (Hint-hint, nudge-nudge, wink-wink.)
Menu:
Turkey Brined in Orange Juice and Herbs (by Max)
Cranberry Sauce with Cherries and Ginger (by me)
Mushroom Gravy (Max)
Whole Wheat Brioche with Golden Raisins (by Ed)
Roasted Yams (Max)
Corn Pudding (by Yumi)
Succotash (me)
Creamed Onions (Max)
Mashed Potatoes with Garlic and Shallots (me)
Green Bean Casserole (Max)
Broccoli Gratin with Mustard-Cheese Streusel (me)
Mushroom Ragout with Chestnuts (Max)
Cornbread Stuffing (Max)
FrankenStuffing (me)
Stilton, Apple and Leek Torte (Yumi)
Apple Pie (Max)
Pumpkin Pie (Max)
Very impressive spread -
