Good morning.
thanks fer the recipes ma'am... always lookin' fer somethin' new...
mornin' Billie... deer #3 got hung up yesterday... I'll be takin' a break fer a few...
Thanks for the ping, Dolly, and the wonderful recipes and suggestions! I'll have to dig in for some of my special holiday treats and recipes to post here.
Have you tried the Quorn turkey-style roast yet? It's like a rolled turkey breast, and is marvelous (if not overcooked). With a little gravy, it is the BEST. You can find their products at www.quorn.com and they are at many grocery stores and health food stores.
You may be with a large group of family or friends at a home for an elegant sit down dinner. You may be with this same group for a more casual homey pot luck/pitch in affair. You may go to Hometown Buffet for a massive dinner including drinks for under ten dollars or to a 4 star hotel for a grand buffet for $39.95 per head (beverages extra).
Ours are usually the first example, but each year as we count our blessings, we remind ourselves that it's not the meal or the setting that's most important, and should we need to go the Hometown Buffet way, we'd still be thankful for what we have and who we are and mostly for being together.
Good thread and great theme! :o)
Yep, I am gearing up for next Thursday. I will be fixing a traditional New England style Thanksgiving dinner for my mother, my son and his family and JK's brother from San Diego and his family. Our holiday dinners aren't fancy, just plain good cooking.....turkey, gravy, dressing, white potatoes and sweet potatoes, the ever-present "green bean casserole", butternut squash, cranberry sauce and relishes, banana nut bread and dinner rolls, pumpkin pie, etc. But first, before we have our dinner here at 6:00, we will all go over to the Assisted Living Center and have dinner at noon with JK's mom and her friends.
So, we will be doubly blessed this year with TWO Thanksgiving dinners. :-)
Now I must get back to my cleaning. Holiday HUGS to you and all the Finest!
WOW! What a tremendous effort for the Holiday. Reading through the recipes again I got extra hungry. Right on gal!
