It's a miracle we made it to New York at all considering this...
The entire Pennsylvania turnpike. In a snow/sleet/freezing rain storm. We finally arrived in Brooklyn at around 1 am. Mom and dad waited up for us and helped us unload the truck. No small feat considering we had 4 adults and 3 small children packed in there.
It rained on and off most of Wednesday, but did get to walk the half mile to prospect park and the farmers market set up there. Jamie bought our 18 pound turkey from a local New York poultry farm the week before, so we just needed some rolls and sweet potatoes. Pizza for dinner Wednesday (along with half of America, I'm sure.)
While we took our kids to the Macy's parade Thursday morning (many thanks to our personal guide, Hemali!!!), Jamie prepped dinner. The bird dry brined in the fridge for 2 days and it was fantastic.
Unfortunately this was the only picture I took of any food.
Fresh Fork menu item:
Crispy sautéed Brussels sprouts tossed with wilted cabbage seasoned with cumin and turmeric. Holy amazing.
My contribution was bourbon mashed sweet potatoes, topped with candied pecans.
After dinner scotch tasting put us all out of commission.
Leftovers for dinner Friday after a day of touristy shopping on 5th avenue. On Black Friday. Not the brightest idea but it was fun!
We ate so much delicious food (Dinosaur BBQ! Brooklyn bagels with bacon scallion cream cheese!), and our kids got to experience so many cool things. After a delightfully uneventful, sunny drive home Saturday, we can't wait do do it again next year!
