This has to be the best collection of Thanksgiving recipes I've seen. I read through this time, I'm going to have to put some paper in the printer, though ,so I can take the recipes out to the kitchen and try some.
I thought I was the only one who still put apple in cranberry relish!
And after reading the comments, you are right. I will go back to making the relish in the grinder rather than the food processor. The color is better, and the flavors meld faster.
A daughter-in-law taught us to add finely chopped onion and cream cheese to the mashed potatoes. My brother brings scalloped tomatoes, canned, crushed tomatoes, with bread crumbs, butter, mushrooms. It may not sound good, but it is wonderful!
Creamed onions aren't bad, but once a year is enough. I add a little freshly grated nutmeg.
Asparagus is good stir-fried with sweet red pepper and fresh ginger--really good! And pretty as well.
And after a break, we like to go back for pie. We will have pumpkin, mince, chocolate silk, and whatever else someone feels like making. Maybe rhubarb, raspberry, apple, pecan, cherry, who knows?
Lots of people, mostly family, all ages. We rent a church conference center, and people start coming Wednesday night, the last leave after a big breakfast and cleanup on Friday.
And that breakfast is always special, too. First there's pot after pot of coffee, then, depending on who is doing breakfast, there might be corned beef hash,or breakfast burritos, or moose and caribou steaks. It will be good, no matter what. And there will be turkey and Homemade rolls left from dinner as well as a lot of pie.
Probably no green bean casserole this year, the Texan isn't coming.
And we'll talk, and talk, and talk, and play games, and there might be some singing.
I can hardly wait!
