A few of the spices for the pumpkin soup—cinnamon, ginger, all spice, cayenne, paprika, cumin, cardamom seeds
Turkey Trivia: Long before Europeans came to America, the Aztecs had domesticated turkeys. They used them for food, for religious sacrifices and the feathers for decoration.
Last year I celebrated Thanskgiving THREE times so needless to say I haven't been able to look at turkey since then but here are a few killer, cholesteral-inducing, absolutely delicious recipes from last year:
Salt encrusted Turkey stuffed with Foie Gras and Port
Bresse Chicken stuffed with Foie Gras and Spice Bread
and the Thanksgiving Tree...my friends Kendall and Bob put this up and we all added leaves written with things we were most thankful for. A lovely tradition and a wonderful, creative way to remind us just what exactly we were celebrating, though it's not hard to forget when you are 6,000 miles from home...
