Thanksgiving Day Meal

Thanksgiving with my family doesn't officially start until Friday, but I wanted to make a fun meal today to go along with a day of football.  Last year I made a Cornish game hen, so I wanted to do that again.  I figured The Frugal Gourmet must have a game hen recipe, and he did not disappoint.  I tried Game Hens Stuffed with Sweet Potatoes.  I had never heard of sweet potato stuffing, but it was delicious.  With added pecans, ginger and nutmeg, it was very good despite my not adding enough salt.

For an appetizer I made Scalloped Oysters.  With oyster crackers, butter (lots of butter!) and a pinch of mace, I was pleasantly surprised.  It was actually the best part of the meal and will make them again very soon!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
