Mr. and I decided that we would stay home- just the three of us and have some quality time. This semester has been really crazy with the election and student teaching and class and etc. So I had some much needed downtime and I cooked a giant dinner just for us. We got a turkey breast and I made a new Ina Garten recipe- celery root puree. It was good, interesting, sort of sweet; it also had fennel-so it was slightly licorice-y. Mr. made stuffing, or dressing, whatever name you prefer. I made cranberry sauce- which was yummy and easy. And we had a pumpkin pie with a graham cracker crust- it is ok.
Sparks likes Thanksgiving.
Then we went on a long walk- this is at the base of the Soldiers and Sailors monument at 90th and Riverside.
An unsuccessful attempt to get the three of us in a photo....Another comment about food! The store only had double cans of pumpkin that made two pies. I was absolutely not going to make two pies, but I found a recipe for pumpkin pasta sauce. It was so good, so easy. Saute fresh rosemary sprigs in olive oil until crispy- remove. Then add minced garlic, 15 oz. pumpkin, and parmesan. You also need to add about two cups of the pasta water. Toss with penne and then sprinkle with rosemary. Wow.
