I like the premise of his blog - we can easily get into ruts, and deny ourselves new experiences. Food is just one way in which we do that.
Not sure if I posted this one, but we really liked this chicken dish from Closet Cooking’

Was looking for this thread, had to go to google to find it.
Anyone done the make ahead mashed potatoes? I believe I tried them last year and I don’t remember how they turned out. Trying them again this year. Will share a link. Let me know if anyone has had decent success with them. It’s nice to not be going crazy with potatoes right before eating.
I am going to do the turkey gravy ahead too, but your recipe calls for making the turkey stock using chicken broth. No need. I just put the turkey wing and thigh in the crock pot with spring water (and a dash of vinegar to get the goodness out of the bones) and it will magically become turkey stock.
Today I will be cooking all day long. Fun. Hope things turn out well.
