Well this is a little unorthodox in regards to class postings, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving I'm adding a little creativity to food preparation for the meal tomorrow. I'm spending the day with one of my best friends (Tanner and Donnie would kill me if I went with the singular there) and his family since mine are on the other side of the country, so I have to bring something to the meal. I love to cook but I wanted to mix things up. One of my only gripes about Thanksgiving is that people tend to stick to the same meals and the same menu year after year. Yes you need the turkey and the stuffing, but mix things up a bit! Add some spices or swap out ingredients, but do something different.
So, with that mindset, I opted to bring an appetizer for earlier in the day. I'm making baked brie with fresh berries, honey and muddled rosemary. I couldn't decide on the berries, so I bought raspberries and blackberries. I may combine them or I may make two separate baked bries (they are the smaller wheels of cheese, so not too much). I figure the cheese and fruit will compliment the main meal without being too heavy to spoil the fun. Plus it isn't something you normal find on Thanksgiving day, so I'm trying to keep things fresh.
Hope they turn out well!
