I have been too busy to sit down and review our holiday meal and now it seems a distant memory. I'll so my best, however. Everything came out wonderfully except the ice cream (still tasted good, just never solidified, probably due to too many Cranberry Mistos). Jamie really had something special going on with the crunchy mashed potatoes, a new idea of his. These are for those who like a rustic mashed potato, not those super whipped, smooth concoctions. We left the skin on most of the potatoes but took long scrapping of it off several. Jamie then fried the skins and some large chunks of garlic, all of which she stirred into the potatoes. I have long loved garlic mashed potatoes but never was able to make them garlicky enough. Frying the garlic before hand left every bite of the potatoes full of flavor. I was very pleased and, as always, impressed by my husband's creativity in the kitchen.
Jamie made a turkey stock that night which he turned into a turkey and rice soup the next day. Way more satisfying, to my way of thinking, than the ubiquitous turkey sandwich. I think we created some new and worthwhile traditions this year.
