Thanksgiving Day and The Tree

 I think the tree is finally done...I think. Teddy has already placed one of her toys under it.

 I thought I would show a bit of what we had for Thanksgiving dinner.  This is the only stuffing we have ever made for Thanksgiving.  We cube stale homemade bread, add lots of onions and celery, Bell's seasoning (lots of it), salt & pepper, eggs and melted butter.

 Mix it all together and cook it in a casserole.  I haven't stuffed a bird in years.

 I roasted the Brussel sprouts in olive oil and salt and pepper.

 I made herb dinner rolls.

 Here is the turkey straight out of the oven.

 You can see the sage right under the skin.

 Curried pearl onions.

 Teddy polished off a big bowl of turkey with gravy.

 More please?

 A piece of pecan pie.  I sent some pies and rolls to The Blog Tech's girlfriends family.  I also send a whole platter of everything to an old friend who's parents died this year. He just married a woman from Cambodia and this was her first American Thanksgiving food.

 Now I need to get started on my daughter's event.  We have two of them 5 days apart during the first week of December.

 I got a few other areas decorated as well.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We had a lovely time at our friend's house and they sent me home with the turkey carcass! Now that is what I call a gift!
Yes, we did have a lovely Thanksgiving, thank you. :-) As you certainly had.

Love the tree, with blinds closed. So the lights really twinkle. Love all the decorating.

And now, you can concentrate on your Daughter's events!!!

And yet again, you did your magic, by making/giving lovely food presents, to people. The full dinner for the friend and his new wife, was especially sweet.

Gentle hugs,
"Auntie"

The food looked totally delicious! I am sure the Blog Tech's GF's family loved their pies & rolls. Those Brussels sprouts look very yummy. Such an easy way to make them.

The house looks very Christmassy! Just lovely!

Have fun with the 2 upcoming events! Will look forward to the report(s)!
