Best wishes

My muse is a testy thing; she much prefers expounding on a small doubt or minor sorrow than exulting over all the wonderful things in my life that I am so very deeply grateful for. It being Thanksgiving, I will postpone posting anything she might have me post here till another day. I am being very ambitious this year. To wit, I will today attempt to prepare the following:

Stuffing of the Yankee variety (the kind I used to make with my grandma, with a helpful reminder in a recipe) which will go in a smallish …

Turkey (there being only four people at this particular celebration)

Garlic mashed potatoes (which became popular here a couple of years ago when first included in a holiday meal) (involves lots of potato peeling, I think I might enlist the help of N for that)

Baked sweet potatoes with ginger and honey (involves peeling and grating of ginger which I will almost definitely do myself, as well as peeling and cubing [!] of sweet potatoes; oh yeah, and crushing cardamom; sheesh, this is very ambitious)

Pumpkin pie of the lovely back-of-the-can variety (I might be moved to whip some cream for that; we’ll see)

Ms. M of the rapidly careening toward teenhood variety will be my main assistant in the above endeavors, also probably making a salad (her area of expertise).

We will make lists of the things we are thankful for and share them over the meal. Maybe. The best laid plans of whitterers don’t always work out just as one would like …

Happy Thanksgiving, wherever you are!

Oh it all sounds wonderful! I am particularly fond of sweet potatoes and yours sound marvelous. Happy happy joy joy. Much to address this year in the gratitude dept. 🙂

I’m heating up corn to take over to my brother’s and I bought the apple pie 🙂 Have a great day, hugs,

Wishing you a wonderful day! I’m off to join my sweet youngest sister J – she’s the jewel of the family, so kind and funny. It’s a rare treat to get a day with her, she’s so busy with her university studies. Hope all is well with you, must get back here and read your last few entries! Abundant hugs to you and yours… -L.

Yummy stuff : ) Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy! Looks like you are making sure your family has a nice feast. Grateful Hugs and Smiles

Woman of many hats..

Same to you!! I may have to have the sweet potato recipe…

A testy muse? Is this good news! Methinks the Turkey flew. Told you to bash it with a shoe. Cheers sweet chef God bless your efforts. I’m sure the kids will love your desserts. When you sit to eat, must say it looks a treat, pray for a washer upper so as not to scupper, the flavor of you late night supper. Warm hugs, greetings from over here. Grinning from ear to ear

I didnt know that Turkeys came in a small size too.. All the ones I have seen look enormous!!! I hope you have a great day.. it all sounds delicious.. Save me some of the sweet potatoes! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Just stopped by to say thanks for lunch dinner brunch. Your sweet potatoes went down a treat, shame the Turkey flew down the street! The pepperoni pizza with cheese olives an rice was rather unusual, overall nice 🙂 Give my regards to the folk at the Deli the Camembert cheese was whew! A tad high. See its flying with the Turkey up in the sky. Warm hugs & smiles

She’s only kidding the meal was heaven. Best Thanksgiving we ever had, even though the Turkey was hopping mad. Well you can’t win em all and the kids were fun. First time I’ve done a 12 mile run!! The view looks great from the Empire State…Em…could you call somebody to open the gate?

Okay, all done with the first feasting at our place .. ready for some of these goodies you cooked up too : ) hehe Hugs

About whipping that cream….Kool-Whip is quicker!! Your entry brought out someone else’s muse; your notes are full of rhyme……oh, my mind is longing to do the same, but ..alas..and woe is me…(just like the silent movies, you know)…anyway, the total gist is, that I must, uh, surely resist..and rhyme….some other time.. What DID you put in that whipped cream???? Hugs
