Pseudo-Thanksgiving

Since our Thanksgiving was over a month ago, but my family is all celebrating in the States today (except my sister, who is enjoying a holiday in Morocco), I decided to make a mini-Thanksgiving dinner.

I brined a chicken. I tried making some croissants (we have a bunch frozen in the freezer), but only took out enough for supper and not for the 2.5 year old all day munchies. I'm making Crash Hot Potatoes (mine are not that pretty), roasted brussels sprouts (probably the same as my roasted asparagus, only with brussels sprouts instead), and for dessert, we'll have grilled pears with So Good Butterscotch Swirl Ice Cream. I'd post a link, but can't get the website to load. It's one of the better alternative ice creams.
