Thanksgiving last year

For Thanksgiving Mr. Choppy doesn't mess with a big bird and the traditional things.  He gets together with friends and family.  Together they create a tasting menu with paired wine.  Here is a little of what we did last year.  For this year, you'll just have to wait as it is still early!

Crab Tower

Pork, polenta, and greens

the libation
The crab towner was taken from On the Line, a great book about Le Bernardin and its crew.  First time I ever tried to make a tower and it came out great.  I added the roasted beats for some color and add an earthy note.  The pork, polenta and dandelion greens is my take on a recipe from Top Chef Voltaggio.  There were three other courses but that is another post.  And then there was the wine, although I think a bottle is missing in there somewhere.
