For about five minutes — before we remembered that we have an infant, a 6 year-old, two full-time jobs, a not very big apartment, an international business trip this month (sadly, not mine) are now doubting we are actually made of whatever is required to pull this off — we thought we might have a Friendsgiving dinner party this year. I love Thanksgiving and I want more of it in my life, ditto to friends and also dinner parties. Everything about this was going to awesome. I didn’t have to plan the menu to my perfect Thanksgiving dinner because I wrote it in my head probably five years ago and from what I hear, Alton Brown’s turkey recipe is the only one you’ll ever need. (Or should I dry brine? Or maybe this lacquered thing? Or maybe a mash-up of all of them? Or maybe just import a smoked one from Texas and be the most chilled out host in the history of Thanksgiving, ever, amiright?) Right, well, I had everything else planned out:

• Pretzel Parker House Rolls
• This Salad I’m Going To Tell You About Next Week
• Squash Toasts with Ricotta and Cider Vinegar
• Kale and Caramelized Onion Stuffing
• Balsamic-Braised Brussels with Pancetta
• Green Bean Casserole with Crispy Onions
• Wild Mushroom and Stilton Galettes (the plan was to make 2 or 3 and turn them each into 2 to 3 single-serving as something of a turkey alternative)
• A Gratin of Some Sort — either Cauliflower or Potato
• Cranberry Sauce
• Classic Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Praline Sauce
• Pecan Pie (also coming next week, yessss)
• An awesome cocktail
