This Thanksgiving was unique in many ways, but the gratitude I feel for being healthy, safe, fed, and housed has thankfully been a constant. My favorite day of every year for the past 3 decades has been cooking with my friends the day before Thanksgiving for 30+ people, but to mitigate the spread of Covid 19 this year, we opted to forgo our annual gathering so that we may enjoy a healthy happy Thanksgiving in the future.
Since Los Angeles has now shut down dining in on patios at restaurants again, a win-win was ordering Thanksgiving dinner from one of my favorite local restaurants, Socalo. Their Thanksgiving feast menu was available for a 2 serving minimum for curbside pickup the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, so it was an easy choice to support a local business and forgo the holiday shopping madness of grocery shopping before Thanksgiving.
The turkey roulade included both light and dark meat, and the portions were big enough for me to make 4 meals out of the 2 servings!
with a bright citrus cranberry jam, savory oregano thyme gravy and perky chimichurri sauces on the side.
The lime yams were zesty and delightfully smooth.
I added a chocolate brownie just for good measure :)
About 30 minutes after eating I fell asleep :)
