Thanksgiving 2010 menu

We usually have a few friends over for Thanksgiving and cook a big meal.  This year, we did it all paleo with dairy!  The menu was:

Appetizers:
* Marinated olives
* Crudite and shrimp with green goddess dip
* Parrano cheese with grape jam (really good!)

Main course:
* Brined turkey
* Mixed mushroom and tarragon gravy

Sides:
* Bourbon walnut sweet potatoes
* Cranberry sauce in port wine with cinnamon
* Smoked paprika broccolini with almonds
* Cauliflower and mushroom stuffing

Dessert:
* Pumpkin pie
* Flourless chocolate cake

Everything came out really good!  We ended up with very few leftovers, and lots of people went back for seconds, which made me happy. :)  It was definitely the best turkey we've ever done--brining is the way to go.  I even had one guest tell me it was the best Thanksgiving food he'd ever had.
