Thanksgiving stats
People always ask how much food/what kind of food we make, so here are the Farm's Thanksgiving stats:
It was a busy day which began at 6:30 for me, opening the Kitchen, and which didn't end until a very sleepy me was yawning and mentally rehashing the day as I meandered around curvy roads back from the train station--having taken my cousin Jessi to catch the train back into the City.
- 12 turkeys, which equaled roughly 108 pounds of meat
- 176 dinner rolls (made by our baking/pastry program)
- 50 lbs mashed potatoes
- 40 lbs Farm Brussels sprouts
- 40 lbs Farm squash (butternut)
- 224 cups (I estimate this wound up being about 40/50 lbs) of stuffing **this is what I made for the meal**
- 2 gravies: 1 turkey, one vegetarian (mushroom)
- 12+ lbs of white bean stew
- Quinoa with walnuts and raisins
- Cranberry sauce
- 6 + lbs of Farm applesauce
- Gallons and gallons of Farm apple cider
- Water, coffee and tea
- 40 pies/tarts: 9 Blueberry Pies, 9 Pumpkin Pies, 9 Chocolate Pies, 9 Lemon Curd Tarts and 4 Cranberry Tarts (made by our baking/pastry program)
