Twas The Night Before Thanksgiving

i peeled 15lbs of potatoes this way. The cork is soft, thank God. So for all to drool with excitement here is the final menu:

Cranberry Chutney Crostini
Cider Basted Turkey with Calvados Gravy
Three Onion Stuffing-everything is homemade down to the bread we used
Roasted Garlic Potatoes-roasted garlic paste is not fun to make
Bruleed Sweet Potatoes-in ramekins for extra wow factor, we actually are using this dish as a pitiful excuse to borrow Michele's blow torch
Corn Pudding
Spice Cake With Apple Puree and Cream Cheese Frosting

It is a toned down, traditional menu, but it is one that allowed us to be lazy bastards until today.
