Today is a day of thanks for many reasons. "We are on this side of the grass" as I like to say, and that is not always of our choosing. It is a good day.
A year from now things should be much different and I thought it would be a good time to use this Thanksgiving dinner as a benchmark for the future. In the past we have raised and harvested our own turkey, but not this year. Still it would be nice to list what came from our garden and other local farms.
Many of the fixin's are from our garden or the sharecrop across the street: onions, garlic, celery, sweet potatoes, squash for pumpkin pie, peas, sage for seasoning. The green beans and apples are from local farms; and the cranberry sauce, rolls, bread for stuffing is homemade.
The sausage we use for the stuffing is something we are planning on making ourselves someday. We could do turkey again, but quail or pheasant is something I've also wanted to raise. We'll see what happens.
Enjoy your day also.
