Menu for Turkey Day, and a Great Visual Site – Pinterest
After a few crazy months I decided to go away the two days prior to Thanksgiving and explore Amador County, and then spend the day here, tucked away with a fire, wine, and lots of food courses to cook.
I just started using a great website social media site, Pinterest, to pin ideas. This easy to use site is a great way to quickly drop web links and pictures to share, and creates eye candy with a few drag and drops. With a few more features and social media integration, this site could be very compelling for photo blogging.
What We Are Cooking Today
The recipes were all gathered, with a visual feast, on one of Michelle’s Pinterest boards: Thanksgiving Dinner. It was my job to pick and shop.
The Menu
After mimosas and some pumpkin pancakes (great mix from Trader Joes) We’ll be jumping into:
Starter: Cheese-Stuffed Dates with Prosciutto

Salad: Roasted Beets and Carrots with Goat Cheese Dressing
The Bird: Cider-Glazed Turkey with Lager Gravy

Sides


Dessert!! Apple Cider Cream Pie

Now to pick the wine pairings, and enjoy a simply hedonistic day in Wine Country.
Warmest wishes and thanks today to our friends, family, and readers. Cheers!

The potato gratins were the easiest part of the meal, AND, in my opinion, one of the best! Will be doing again.
