If there’s one thing I love it’s a good list. Or a good stack of cookbooks just waiting to be read – and made into Thanksgiving shopping lists!
This year I’m celebrating Thanksgiving with a dinner party – turkey and all the “fixins”. Which includes in no short order:
- Pie
- pumpkin
- pecan
- apple
- Turkey
- gravy
- stuffing
- Cranberry sauce (with orange zest and Thyme)
- Potatoes Dauphinoise
- Green beans
- Sweet potato casserole with pecan crumble
- Cornbread …or regular yeasted bread…to be decided
- clam chowder (to start)
- green salad
There are just a couple of rules about Thanksgiving in my mind; namely, there has to be some over-the-top turkey themed decoration. And there has to be cranberry sauce and at least 3 kinds of pie. You can’t have Thanksgiving without pie in bulk – it’s just one of those facts.
Also, everyone has to say what they’re thankful for. It’s what separates a Thanksgiving dinner party from just your average dinner party (And pie. Did I mention pie? Lots of pie.).
