In the mood...

While you're all busy digesting your Thanksgiving dinner, I'm still preparing ours...since this isn't a national holiday in Europe, we've arranged our feast for next week. Here's the menu...Cranberry, sekt and amaretto aperatif...nibbles of roasted pumpkin sticks wrapped with with sage and prosciutto...At the table...pumpkin soup with fresh thyme, parmesan coated roasted parsnips, sweet potato yum yum topped with with brown sugar and pecans, braised spiced red cabbage with apples, baked turnip with breadcrumbs, steamed brussles sprouts, roasted potatoes, roast turkey with sausage, sage and onion stuffing and cranberry sauce...For dessert...pecan pie, pumpkin pie topped with toasted pecan crumble, toffee apple crisp and home made vanilla and/or caramel ice cream.

Here's a link to a little video clip I'm sending to our European friends to get them in the mood for a feast...thought you'd enjoy it too.

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~W.T. Purkiser
