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

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

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!   Later that e
