Thanks so much, Becky, for posting that. I roasted some chestnuts yesterday, thinking they would go well with whatever I made, so I have all the ingredients and will make today.

And thanks MrsB for posting that crust recipe. I'm going to try that one at Christmas !

For those of you that have read The Embarrassment of Mangoes, I made the Bahamian Mac&Cheese this weekend. It's tasty and very easy.

I served it as a side with pork chops, green beans and applesauce.

Washed down with some cold Apple Cider
(served in my new St. John Spice glasses)

It's an oldy but a goodie! I only read and do not post since I am far below the caliber of those who do!

I love this thread and all previous food porn...it's what inspired me to learn how to cook (that and the smell of St. John Spice)!

Ahhhh... a year's worth of food porn. Yummy!

I don't post here either (Steamfresh corn and grilled chix not so photogenic) but I do LOVE those who do.

I was a year without an oven and now that it's back, I just may have to try some of these wonderful recipes.

Thank you food porn providers!

I took pictures Thursday, but they aren't great. Partly because I didn't remember until after I'd started to carve the turkey.

However, I made Thanksgiving with all the trimmings, and it was lovely. Everyone raved over all the food. Everything was from scratch except I used some frozen pie crusts because after I rolled out dozens of homemade egg noodles, I could not hold that rolling pin anymore.

I even made my gravy from scratch, which is something that always intimidates me. Betty Crocker's web site has a recipe for "fool proof gravy," and it really is! And it was delicious. I bought a good-sized bird for the group, and there weren't enough leftovers for turkey salad sandwiches or pot pie!

I think this discussion is even older than a year--we had another version of it before Anthony split the board into "on" and "off" topic forums.

Here is my dinner last night. Frisee aux lardons.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
