that all looks SO amazing!!!! mmm. hungry right now. heh.
Great pics.
Yummy food, I bet!
Please tell me more about the chicken roulade - what's in them? They look they're stuffed with yummy goodness.
steve - LOL, we haven't had real collard greens in years! i'm talkin' about the kind cooked with ham hocks or neck bones. i miss it but we're used to having a lighter version--a couple of slices of bacon and a little salt and pepper is all that goes in the pot with the greens now.
janette - *sigh* originally, this was supposed to be a turkey roulade. i had to make a few shortcuts after i realized i forgot to bring the list of ingredients for the stuffing while we were grocery shopping. since the store didn't carry boneless turkey breasts, i used chicken breast halves (butterflied and pounded), rolled it with a filling of stove top stuffing and craisins, and tied it with twine to keep everything in place. it was definitely a quick and easy dish to prepare since i didn't have to make the stuffing from scratch. :)
I should have had you come take pictures of my food. You have a knack for making food look super good.
I am disappointed that this food was at a table with chairs and not on a fold away Korean table.
Niiiiccceee. I think I might try those roasted veggies for my Christmas meal. I'm trying to come up with a menu, and I still need 2 more side dishes.
Great photos, as usual, Ms. Thing. Our Thanksgiving greens are usually a mix of kale, collard, turnip, and mustard. And my aunt usually flavors it with a piece of salt pork. We haven't used ham hocks in while either.
kale...i don't think i've had it. i only say this because a friend of mine made greens once but i can't remember what she used.
i haven't even thought about christmas meal, but i'm hoping i don't have to cook. i wouldn't mind watching though.
out of curiosity, have you ever made stuffed cabbage? if you know of any online recipes worth trying, i'd love to give it a shot.
See, I recognised that as tea immediately. That may be a way of divining Southerners from Non-southerners. With the name Georgia Lynn, I expected the South but the tea divining method was more accurate.
No offense Georgia, I am just trying to be funny, and you can't help it that your parents raised you in the wrong part of the country.
