What's for Thanksgiving Dinner?


We have been truly blessed this year. Brian has just brought back bags of organic produce, turkey and trimmings to prepare for tomorrow's dinner. Here is what's on the menu:

Roasted Turkey with Pan Gravy
Sage and Onion Bread stuffing with Apples and Raisins
Mashed Potatoes
Glazed Carrots
Broccoli with Parmesan Bechamel
Cranberry Sauce
Golden Honey Rolls

Egg Nog
Sparkling Pear Juice

Apple Pie
New England Squash Pie

There is still much to do. Jack, Carrie, and Will are working on cleaning and decorating while I tend to the food preparations. Louis is slumbering and Sophie is helping in her own sweet way. Brian is making grocery deliveries to our customers with Cate's help. Their last stop will be Youville House, a homeless shelter for families run by Catholic Charities. They will be dropping off eight bags of organic produce to feed everyone through the Thanksgiving weekend. This evening we will be worshipping with friends and family at the annual ecumenical Thanksgiving Service where three of our children will be participating in music ministry by ringing and singing.

Yes, we are truly, truly blessed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings,

Nissa
