Thanksgiving Fake Out

Last week I was getting a bit anxious for Thanksgiving. Every magazine I read was filled with Thanksgiving recipes. There were brined turkeys, rubbed turkeys, buttered turkeys, Sweet potato pies and hash, and then there was Cornread Stuffing, Apple Stuffing, and more variations than I can remember. I just knew that I wanted to have a little Thanksgiving just the two of us. I wasn't about to roast a turkey but I did have Steve's Nana's Stuffing to try out and I also wanted to try mashed sweet potatoes. So with a little help from the grocery store I had my Thanksgiving fake out. I bought some oven roasted turkey and some gravy (don't judge!!!) and a fabulous Ecce Panis Boule (damn that bread is expensive!) and I was set. I toasted the bread and we had open faced turkey sandwiches with gravy alongside homemade stuffing and mashed sweet potatoes. It was a wonderful dinner that I would make again anytime. I also decided that these two sides will make it to the Thanksgiving menu. Recipes to come!
