Happy Turkey Day, everyone.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I had such a lovely day. Up all night cooking and exhausted but all the food turned out edible despite the fact that my oven broke and nearly everything had to be cooked in a toaster oven and crockpots. Company got along great, no politics, conversation nonstop. BF and my brother left at a reasonable hour and I said screw the dishes and spent the rest of the evening watching West Wing Thanksgiving episodes. Yeah yeah yeah, all democrats, still a good show, funny, poignant, well acted. Best Thanksgiving in a very long time!
You were actually my inspiration for the turkey @my-thyme. I just did a turkey breast this year, only a few people who only ate white meat. I sliced it and put it on a white platter and looked at it and thought WWMTD (what would my-thyme do) so I stuck a few springs of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme (also thought WWS&GD) and artfully sprinkled a handful of fresh cranberries among them.
The male comments: Are we supposed to eat that?
Me: No it's garnish
Brother: You mean garish?
Me: No garnish.
Lee: Is it edible?
Me: It's garnish. It makes it pretty.
Lee: If it's not edible why bother?
Me: Somewhere Martha Stewart is smiling upon me.
I was a little buzzy but I'm fairly certain I heard a bell chime. At that moment, another cook got her wings.

This is me. Monello is the "We eat with our eyes" person who makes pretty food.
