happy thanksgiving

[threeplusfire]

I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner this evening, pork roast with garlic and black pepper, mashed potatoes with caramelized onions and cranberries. The mashed potatoes came out amazing - roughly two pounds of onions reduced down with a stick of butter and splash of bourbon and then mixed into the potatoes. I'm full and exhausted. The kitty is sleeping on the sofa beside me. I have a four day weekend ahead of me. In this cold weather I'm going to read, maybe make some cookies and just relax.

Happy Thanksgiving.

You just gave me potato lust.

Yay for potato lust! (I think the trick to having caramelized onion mashed potatoes is to have equal poundage of potato and onion.)

Wow! Sounds like an incredible dinner. Yum!

It was pretty damn tasty. I was impressed the potatoes came out so well. I think it must have been all the butter, hahaha.

I just caught this. I'm gonna have to try that next time too. A simple way to revamp normal mashed potatoes...mmm.

It is quite delicious! The ratio I worked out was equal amounts of onion to potato, to ensure a good spread of caramelized onion goodness. Bourbon optional. ;)

The bourbon part sounded good too.
