Planned Thanksgiving Menu Contributions from Yours Truly and Husband

Fall in Seattle - View from our Hotel last week. 

Cabbage Roses at Pike Place Market

Since I'm starting my cooking and prep today, I thought I'd share...

• Turkey: Ryan (and others willing to help). He's trying out a method in the most recent Cook's Illustrated mag - braised.
• Rolls: Ryan & Kylie. We're the bread people, and we like to make bread-y things.  We're making some Rustic rolls and some classic American dinner rolls.  Both of these recipes also from Cook's Illustrated.
• Sweet Potato Pie: Ryan.  I requested a spin on traditional sweet potatoes, and he found this option. :)
• Layered Jell-O: Kylie.  Last Christmas I made a rainbow layered-Jell-O.  It was pretty awesome.  For Thursday I'm making a layered Jell-O with reds, purples, and blue.
• Yum-Yum Bacon: Kylie.  Bacon slices with mustard and brown sugar.  A bite of happiness.  These were served at my wedding reception. 
• Zippy Italian Popcorn: Kylie.  We need a pre-dinner snack, right?
• White Chocolate Popcorn: Kylie.  Because I want to eat some, and I'm pretty sure others will, too.  

If successful, I'll supply recipes (and hopefully a photo or two) after the feast.  Happy Thanksgiving!
