Now here's a real non-typical stereotype in the making.
You(mother, wife, caregiver) are polishing off a 4th glass of wine, while I (male..enough said) stone cold sober, trying to figure out just when to put the turkey in the oven, when to start boiling the potatoes, whether my rue for the gravy will be to brown, and should I bake the popin fresh dinner rolls or cheat with the poly bag of sesame rolls. Also trying to figure out if I should pre-cook my apples and onions for the sweet and sour cabbage dish.
Something is askew here?
Naw I love the whole idea of Thanksgiving and the all day cook a thon. So ladies STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY KITCHEN!
During the last two hours of my cooking frenzy, I will be joining you in several glassed of wine. Me and the Galloping Gourmet.
We would like a full critique on your french Thanksgiving Dinner. I love french style cooking, they unashamedly use butter, whenever and wherever they can, they are not afraid of cream, or any cheese. Puff pastry out of sight!...and not just in deserts.
Sounds like a really fun party...hope you have a grand time.
