If only I had patience.
'Tis not a virtue of mine.
I recently picked up the latest issues of EveryDay with Rachael Ray and Food Network magazines (my monthly indulgences) and I have been swooning over all of the Thanksgiving recipes.
And, frankly, I didn't want to wait another month to have turkey and stuffing. So, I went out and bought what I needed to throw together a quick(er) version of what will be on my Thanksgiving table next month! And, we enjoyed it tonight ... here in October. It was just what I was craving. And, it reminded me that there need be no rules to cooking. Why do we often think we have to wait until Thanksgiving to prepare turkey? Who made that rule? Well, rules are often made to be broken. What a culinary rebel I am! Ha!
And, just a little side note ... I'm thinking this would be perfect for someone only cooking for a few people at Thanksgiving, too. Maybe a husband and wife. All of the expected (and cherished) tastes and flavor components of Thanksgiving dinner without the hassle of a big bird! Also, the turkey here is super inexpensive ... around four or five dollars for a three-pack of tenderloins. This fed my family of five with enough leftover for two people the next day.
