So what were your best dishes yesterday?

[George K]

Ask me tonight...

So you cook the breast for only 40 minutes after drinking to room temperature?

What if you want drippings for gravy?

[Jolly]

The best thing I cooked yesterday? Bacon. As in bacon and eggs for breakfast.

Other than that, I ate my 85 year-old MIL's cooking. Lord, that woman can cook... Turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole with crunchy pecan topping, mac &cheese, steamed broccoli, buttered carrots, green bean casserole, yeast rolls, dutch apple pie, pecan pie and a lemon pie.

Her dressing was good, but that lemon pie...Homemade from the crust up and just outstanding.

I SO miss my MIL's pie crust. Fantastic stuff. You know you're an adult when you pay more attention to the crust than the filling, and more attention to the cake than the icing.

George, I just made a mix gravy, Kinders' Bone Broth Turkey Gravy Mix. Was acceptable. We had mashed sweet potatoes, so no gravy needed there.

[Jolly]

Agreed. A good pie crust has so few ingredients, but can vary a lot from cook to cook. It's mostly the technique.

[Mik]

Yep. The filling is easy. Crust is high art.

I poured a wonderful Sancerre yesterday. That was the closest I came to food prep.

[Mik]

Great pick for T-Day dinner. My favorite Sauvignon Blancs.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah. The host is French so I went for the Sancerre instead of a Sauvignon Blanc.

As my friend says, a Sancerre is a Sauvignon Blanc with a cork in the bottle.

[Mik]

I wish they'd get hip to screwcaps.

But.. if you like Bordeaux, give the Chateau La Tour De Mons - Margaux 2020 a shot. A lot of wine for $30-40. Close in flavor and style to Chateau Margaux, which is like $500-600.
