A Somewhat Random Dinner

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Using up bits and pieces of things that needed to be eaten in the fridge led to this eclectic meal of chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, and green salad. The sausage is al fresco Roasted Garlic. We liked these pretty well, but we liked their Vermont Apple with Maple ...

Cider Brined Turkey

Thursday, November 25th, 2010
