Yum Mary Beth! Post the recipe for the butternut shells? That looks like something I would like.

Here's a photo from last week. Asian glazed salmon with bok choy and soba noodles:

recipe of sorts here although there are no real measurements.
I added sauteed onion and some prosciutto and thyme to my ricotta. Also added some rosemary to the squash as it roasted.

This was so good I had to share. If you like pumpkin but are tired of the same old pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, try this: Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce. I don't like bread pudding. Never have. It's like eating soggy bread to me. This stuff was delicious, though! The consistency is more like pie. Good stuff and pretty easy to make.

I've been on a salmon kick lately. Last night I made pomegranate glazed salmon with edamame and Armenian rice. Recipe is in the December issue of Food and Wine.

not cooking this year so I did a Thanksgiving for 2 the other night. Cruz Bay Cornish hens. Never cooked or had a cornish hen before. It didn't thrill me.
Sourdough and apple stuffing and sauteed brussels.

YES! didn't i tell you that already?
hope you are on vacation this week!

I'm not huge on cornish hens either. They taste too greasy for me, I think. I'll eat a little bit if it's been grilled, but it's not my first choice.

Your dinner looks pretty though! I like your plates.

[sailorgirl]

Nope, not on vacation, taking tommorrow off for a marathon day of cooking.

[Marcia (Mrs. Pete)]

Pete and I did cornish hens one year and we just couldn't eat them. Something about having the whole bird on your plate...made it too real. They tasted fine and all but, I dunno, it just didn't seem right.

Becky, your carmelized brussels advice? Pleeeeeeeze?
