Thanksgiving Dinner 2014

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.
