Birthday dinner: roast turkey, vegetable salad and peach cake
My husband celebrated his birthday last Saturday and we hosted a small dinner party. I opted to keep the menu simple since I would do the cooking alone. I decided on rice-stuffed roast turkey, a vegetable salad, baked spaghetti for the kids and a peach cake. I wish the photos looked better but I had to turn the camera flash on. I couldn’t set up the tripod since our guests had already arrived and were eager to dig in.

I’ll post the recipe for the roast turkey after I submit my op-ed column at noon.

Wow bravo!!! That’s a wonderful looking turkey and the way you prepared it in brine’s an eye-opener for me but sounds like would make quite a tasty bird indeed. The rice stuffing recipe also sounds very yummy. Actually I’m drooling over the whole feast Mrs Connie. You’ve outdone yourself!
Thank you, Sasha. It was a great dinner.
