Holy shit, it's Thanksgiving!

...and man-alive, am I excited. Mom and I just got off the phone planning the menu. Here's what we decided on:

Sweet and spicy butternut squash soup

Brussels sprouts with prosciutto, figs, garlic, and balsamic. Sprinkled with Parm? I think so.

Maple-roasted yams.

Bing cherry/cranberry relish.

Stuffing (with french white)

Mom's cooking gets exponentially more delicious every year, and I've been feeling more confident in the kitchen myself lately. This is going to be SO good.
