Chef with entree, Thanksgiving 2005

For the most part, we had a sensible Thanksgiving dinner; although the traditional cornbread dressing was carb-laden, we had steamed carrots, stewed squash and whole-berry cranberry sauce as sides, and not even my endocrinologist could complain about any of those. I even refrained from making a heavy gravy... though I must confess that I saved the pan drippings, and may not be able to resist doing so tomorrow.

Here's what it all looked like plated up.

Could have been worse.
