clemmie making individual tarts for the pumpkin pies
the beginning of the Moroccan themed veggitarian cornbread stuffing
making Buttermilk custard Ice-Cream with candied ginger.
Before Clemmie's Arrive the morning of, decided to impress by making a delicious eggwhite Nepali-infused fritatta, the parsley hid my finger from the knife. Warwound count, 1.
Why we got up at 6am, to shuck oysters for our lovely oyster chestnut cornbread stuffing, duh.
the stuffing complete but not stuffed.
Our biggest fear was Theodore being to rotund to fit inside my tiny oven, but with 1 inch of clearance, he was snug like a bug.
the completed buttermilk ginger icecream
the fritatta and the abandoned homes of the oysters, we evicted them.
This we were both heady about. Sweet potatoes au grautin with savory milk sauce and fresh raspberries topped with rosemary and gorganzola cheese. THIS WAS INCREDABLE, WE ARE FANS.
the table was beautiful unlike Lisa's face, sorry for the bad pic.
when one doesn't have a masher, use a spare wine bottle. Heather is a genius!
mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and carmelized pearl onions
one of the best things I've had in a while.
Brussel sprouts with pancetta, chestnut marsala sauce. Sweet, bitter, salty

We ended the meal with a mildly sweet pumpkin tart topped with buttermilk ginger ice-cream and candied spicy pecans, mint for garnish.
