I watched it! I loved the look of the turkey and spuds ... but I have to say I don't think I'd like that gingerbread stuffing. First of all, no bacon for me. But secondly, I think it would be a bit too sweet. It did look nice, just not for me. I just like plain old traditional sage & onion stuffing. What did you think about the brine turkey bath? Do you think it would make a difference or was it just all for show? Interesting, I thought. I've never tossed potatoes in semolina, either, but will have to try that someday!
(I did take exception to her tradition of making the cranberry sauce on Christmas Eve, though. I add booze to mine too, and it really needs a few weeks minimum to age nicely and let the flavours intensify.)
