Thanksgiving specials

The freshest available fish from the Atlantic, could be Wahoo, Amber Jack, Grouper, Snapper, Tile fish, whatever they caught.

Baked ham, green bean casserole, pecan pie, a dry rose wine, a rack of ribs, burnt ends ...

Oh? running out of table space? it's OK to skip the turkey and replace it with a baked chicken, or small stuffed Cornish game hens.

This whole Thanksgiving meal planning is fun in itself. Our daughter is visiting and we are so looking forward to this Thanksgiving.

Tomorrow also looks like a good day to watch an old movie to fit in the spirit of Thanksgiving. If likewise so inclined, I suggest re-watching Bebette's Feast. If you've never seen it, do so,

Our traditional pre-dinner snack is corn-nuts.

My grandson named it Memore Salad. He liked it so much as a toddler learning to talk that he would say "Me More" wanting second and third helpings.

Besides the turkey and dressing it is the pies.....pumpkin and mincemeat. Yummmmmm.

Growing up, we always had:

Appetizers- black olives, baby pickles, and deviled eggs

Main course- turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, steamed garlic green beans (no one liked green bean casserole), sweet potato casserole, cornbread dressing, and cranberry sauce. (Soooo many carbs 🤢)

Desserts- pecan pie, apple pie

Mulled apple cider with Applejack.
