Here's what I'm thinking for a menu. Let's hope I can pull it off! I expect I'll be eating leftovers until Christmas. Recipes courtesy of a few years' worth of magazines, my aunt Marguerite, and--maybe--you.
Butternut squash soup
Brined & roasted turkey, with giblet gravy
Mashed potatoes
Creamed leeks
Marguerite's stuffing
Cranberry-persimmon sauce
Apple pie, with pumpkin spice ice cream*
*I haven't found a recipe for this ice cream yet. Anyone ever made pumpkin ice cream? I've made a squash custard base before, but it didn't make a terrific ice cream, so if you've got the wisdom of experience on your side I'd welcome some tips.
I'd also like to include some kind of light palate cleanser in here, either for the start of the meal or to have in between dinner and dessert. Not sure what it would be, though. Sorbet? Turkey consomme? Ha. Consomme. No way.
