After Shock Media

Ugh just found this. Had to spend yesterday and the day before it in the hospital (yeah bills!). On with the assorted meal plan that I will be transporting and doing the final cooking at my grandmother in laws house. I claimed it this year (cooking) as I really do not care for the food she cooks. She over cooks everything it seems and has no basic flavor.

I will break it up into snacks/appetizers, main meal, and then desserts.

Apps:

• Deviled eggs
• A cream cheese based chip/veggie dip (no real name). chips-veggies of course.
• Cheese tray with salami, prosciutto, cheddar, blue cheese, herb (mixed) rolled goat cheese, smoked Gouda, brie, wheat and rye crackers, pear slices, apple slices, and cut figs.
• four types of homemade olives, assorted soaks. Herbed, garlic stuffed, spicy, and plain (both green and black types)
• Large pot of mulled hot cider

Main meal:

• Brined turkey (24 hour or so seasoned brine) will be roasted.
• Dressing with poultry livers and a fast assortment of breads that I have been chunking and saving in the freezer over past 3 months.
• A whole berry cranberry sauce with orange and cinnamon.
• Mashed potatoes. (standard cream/butter).
• Turkey gravy, uses both drippings and stock made from turkey wings I bought a few days ago.
• Sweet potatoes in country fry shape, with maple syrup and some with marshmallows.
• Roasted brussel sprouts with a cheddar sauce (optional).
• Mixed greens salad with pomegranate and apple, a pomegranate vinaigrette along with some bottled dressings.
• Yeast based rolls.

Desserts:

• Bread pudding.
• Pumpkin rum pie with whipped cream.
• Apple pie.
• Cheese cake with a tangerine reduction sauce.
• Chocolate silk pie with banana slice layer inside - has a cookie crust as well.

Also have some assorted wines, sodas, milk, coffee's, etc. to drink. Oh yeah some buttermilk for my uncle in law who must have it to drink.

Good news is I have most of it prepped, then I get to start in on it around 10am to finish rest.
