Along with the usual,
traditional Thanksgiving Day Fare, tonite we were thinking of making
polenta with cranberries which we saw in the NY Times last week (101
holiday side dishes), and our new tradition (from last year, I just
started it), of Yorkshire Pudding which is fun in an Angleterre
sort of way. I have friends who always celebrate Thanksgiving with a
heavy-duty Italian theme (antipasta, pasta, etc.) laced through the
turkey and trimmings, and, though it seems like an annual non
sequitir, they actually do that for every holiday. However, full
disclosure, although we do the traditional T-Day stuff ourselves, my
mom traditionally prepares a tray of baked ziti and a side of eggplant
parm' for our more vegetarian-oriented family and guests, that is also
served . Happily, this year, my college age daughter (back from her
study-year in Europe) and son hit the supermarket yesterday and did a
bunch of shopping, so tonite, it will be a glass of wine and the
beginning of some relaxed food prep.
