We picked up our fresh 12 lb turkey on Saturday at City Market and cooked it Monday. Suzanne made a pumpkin AND an apple pie for dessert, using Jack's mother's no-fail pastry recipe, which certainly lived up to its name. We served it with maple walnut ice cream and sauce made with the rose hips I picked last week. We started with curried carrot and parsnip soup, with a squash, onion and bacon tart. The very moist turkey was accompanied by mashed potatoes, maple glazed carrots, stuffing and a rich gravy made with stock from 4 partridge carcasses, courtesy of an earlier dinner at Jack and Suzanne's.
Harvey's aunt Max and cousin Michelle arrived mid-afternoon, in time for dinner, and stayed with us for 2 nights. We did some city touring, served scallops for dinner the second night and made a trip to Frenchy's. I enjoyed a reflexology treatment from Michelle before watching election results. They dropped me off at the hospital this morning, planning to visit the Museum before starting their journey back to Ontario.
Leftover turkey for dinner tonight - perhaps the real reason for cooking turkey!
