On the Menu: Thanksgiving Delayed

Since we traveled to my SIL for Thanksgiving with my husbands family I did not get to do much in the line of cooking. I made a small contribution to the meal with the addition of a Pineapple Upside Down cake but that was the extend of my culinary effort on the actual day of Thanksgiving.

Not being one to allow a small thing like not actually being home on Thanksgiving stop me from actually having Thanksgiving I decided that being thankful is really a constant state of mind anyway so we have postponed our smaller family celebration until this evening.

Skoots1mom and her family will be joining my small family and we will gather around my table for a Delayed Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving 2010 Menu:

Brown Sugar & Mustard Glazed Ham

Roasted Turkey Breast (Marinate in a Brine for 24 hours)

Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

Broccoli & Rice Casserole with Mushrooms and Roasted Red Peppers

Stuffing & Gravy

Creamed Peas

Homemade Spiced Cranberry Sauce

Hot Spiced Tea

 

Chocolate Cheese Cake for desert

 

If I get industrious I may put another Pineapple Upside Down Cake in the oven after the side dished come out of the oven. Pineapple Upside Cakes need to be consumed while still warm in my opinion so it is one of those thing that needs to be done just prior to serving.

Pictures to follow in my next 365 post, which I am proud to announce that a miracle did occur and I have actually managed to take a picture every day this week.

Well I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Now it’s time to ramp it up for the Christmas Season.

Blessings

As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
