As a chef, you are almost always working the holidays. This year I was given the day off. I wanted to take this opportunity to cook dinner for Renee and her family. The Sunday before thanksgiving I sat down and came up with a menu:
-Citrus marinated duck and turkey
-Gravy
-Boursin mashed potatoes
-Cornbread stuffing with sweet potatoes
-Shaved brussel sprouts with bacon and balsamic vinegar
-Roasted butternut squash with kale and honey balsamic vinaigrette
I went over the menu with Renees mom, she said that she would shop for the items . Wednesday after I got home from work around 930pm I began some of the prep to make my day a little easier on thanksgiving.
When thanksgiving came I was actually views and upset at myself for doing to much prep the night before.
The final results of my thanksgiving dinner was a delicious meal had by all, so much so they want me to do it next year already.
