Feeling inspired by color and pattern recently.

We're getting ready to host Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. After so many years of traditional New England food, this year we're going to try something different, more southern.

Deep fried turkey (okay, my husband's doing this...I've got nothing to do with it, except when it comes to eating it)
Cornbread stuffing
Creamed collard greens
Shrimp Gravy
Biscuits
Pecan bourbon bread pudding

I bought an unbelievable amount of butter and heavy cream today at the grocery store.

All recipes excepting the turkey from the November 2011 issue of Bon Appetit

Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll!
