At the farmers market I spent $29 and got 4.5 lbs organic Japanese sweet potatoes, 1 bunch organic orange carrots with the tops, 1 bunch thyme, 1 bunch sage, 1 butternut squash, 3 gorgeous orange bell peppers, 2 green bell peppers, 1 tiny Gala apple and 1 tiny yellow onion (The last two are FODMAP-rich foods and are not for eating! They're to stick inside the Thanksgiving turkey, as aromatics.) The parsley and spinach looked pretty sad, so we'll have to head to Whole Foods for those.
This week it's all about planning Thanksgiving. We have an epic grocery list and the following plan:
Main course: Turkey, of course. I loosely follow Alton Brown's recipe, though this year we won't be brining since we're getting a Kosher turkey.
Side dishes: Maple glazed sweet potatoes with bacon (omit onions); sauteed fresh spinach/greens with lemon, olive oil, and salt (omit garlic); low-FODMAP stuffing (this is my sweetie's project, thankfully); and--hopefully--cornbread that doesn't suck.
Dessert: Bourbon pumpkin pie milkshakes (hells yes) and pumpkin oatmeal cookies (using pumpkin seeds instead of nuts)
Looking forward to a few days off (well, sorta) and working on some long term projects - de-cluttering the house, organizing our photos and mementos, updating web projects, getting our finances in order. And, of course, Christmas gift shopping and knitting a sweater for my friend's dog!
