Our Thanksgiving Day
I don’t know why Auggie is giving me the evil eye. He had a beautiful sun spot and the doors open to a beautiful day: 45F with sun and blue skies. I had the windows open while cooking. It didn’t feel as holiday-like as it does when it is cold-cloudy-snowy, but no complaints from us!
Cranberry Chutney was first on the agenda – yes 6:45 a.m. in the dark of the morning … so it had time to meld all the flavors.
I made a new recipe: leek bread pudding, in place of dressing. I used my own sourdough for the bread – this turned out to be my favorite side dish.
The bird!!!
A full plate: turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry chutney, green beans in mushroom gravy with a bread crumb/onion/parmesan top crust, steamed carrots and the leek bread pudding.
A few spoons of pumpkin spice ice cream rounded out the meal.
Bear and Auggie had some turkey with just a wee-little bit of gravy.
I believe we were all very thankful for the gorgeous day, the delicious food and a relaxing day together.
I was very thankful to get this last load of dishes done – I think that was about the 8th sinkful of the day.
Our Thanksgiving Day.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Your turkey and the trimmings look wonderful and the icecream sounds delicious, too.
Thanks, Margaret!
