a belated Thanksgiving feast

Last night we (Mark, Amber, Anthony, and I) put on a thank-you belated Thanksgiving dinner for special friends of ours that have been a blessing to us this year. Everyone went home full and blessed. Here's a few highlights.


Here's Mark with Lil' Wayne, our turkey that he butterflied and made with the greatest glaze I've ever had on a turkey.


Our googly turkeys made from Oreos, PB cups, Whoppers, and candy corn.


The feast! We each took parts of the meal and cooked all day.


Dessert #1 - Pumpkin bread pudding with vanilla creme anglaise and spicy caramel apple sauce. (This is the dessert Bobby Flay made in his Throwdown with Pioneer Woman. It was delicious!)


Chocolate caramel bourbon pecan tart. Delicious, except for the fact that the caramel bubbled over the tart in the oven and burned around the edge of the tart pan. (And also set off the fire alarm and dripped in their oven.)

That was so fun and delicious. And we still have leftovers, despite everyone feasting on Saturday night and a brunch feast on Sunday. LOL
What comes next? Turkey soup of course! :-)
I'll take pictures if I remember so you can post the turkey stock process.
