To make mollpeartree properly jealous

[muckefuck]

The full menu for Urban Hipster Da's Gay Thanksgiving Feast:

• Cabrales softened with Spanish brandy on crackers (monshu unaccountably forgot to put out the pepper-crusted imported Italian salami)


• turkey with roast chestnut/kalamata fig/cornbread stuffing


• fresh brussel sprouts au gratin


• chipotle sweet potatoes with fried green plaintains


• turkey gravy avec port


• cranberry sauce and fresh cranberry relish


• a bottle of amarone della Valpolicella


• maple-pumpkin cheesecake


• 12-yr. old port (a mere baby!)

Not the Big Gay Thanksgiving we had two years ago, when Polo debuted the chipotle sweet potatoes, but not too shabby either. Plus, I got Monshu to make me an old-fashioned! I may soon find it impossible to go back to drinks with fewer than three ingredients

We looked at the Gran Duque de Alba sitting on the shelf, sighed, and picked up a bottle of the Barbadillo. If we're going to really splurge, it will be for scotch. I keep trying to get a bottle of 20 yr.-old Laphraoig at Sam's only to find out they're lying to me about having it in stock.

Actually, the chorizo riojano Palacios was the brand I picked up from Gepperth's. Monshu though he might make a chorizo-cornbread stuffing if we couldn't find decent chestnuts (or if I had refused to roast and shell them). Now I've got it for some other time!
