No, no, I didn't drop off the face of the earth! My three month absence from the blogosphere can be easily explained. Basically, I was without a kitchen - no kitchen, therefore no baking. See? But now I'm back and making up for lost time. Thanks to all of you who haven't given up on me.
This Thanksgiving I hosted fourteen of my family. If ever there was a reason to freak out that may have been it. Luckily, with some pre-planning, preparation and lots of help from my mom and sisters things went as smooth as could be. The 19-lb turkey was brined and roasted in three hours using a fantastic Cook's Illustrated recipe. I've made it for the last few years and it always comes out absolutely delicious - so plump and juicy with super crispy skin every single time.
As for Thanksgiving dessert, pumpkin pie is my all-time favorite but apple is definitely the runner-up. I had been waiting to make CI's Deep Dish Apple Pie specifically for this occasion. The recipe can be found at their online cooking school. [You may recall that I was lucky enough to win a 1-year scholarship to the school many months ago. I highly recommend checking it out if you're really interested in learning to cook or becoming a better cook].
The crust uses vodka along with water to make it super flaky and pre-cooking the apples on the stove avoids the common issue of a soggy filling. Accompanied with vanilla ice cream it was absolute bliss.
Must get a kick out of the chance to state that it is such a great blog entry. You are truly improving the situation for your peruser. You have accomplished an incredible work and you are truly improving the situation for your perusers. By and large I don't offer remarks on the site I visit. However, I truly intrigued with your site. I am seeking after same best work from you. Have a pleasant day !!
