1. We took Teddy Bear bread (mom's recipe that is at every thanksgiving)

2. pear-apple salad with cranberry vinaigrette and

3. Marc's Cranberry Sauce to friends for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful visit.

4. Had Thanksgiving the Sequel on Saturday (our son worked Thursday) and did the traditional Turkey with

5. Richard's Russian Potatoes

6. Today the turkey carcass is simmering away in our 18 quart cooker so that we'll have plenty of turkey stock.

I'm napping today away and recovering from all the festivities. It sure was nice to get back in the kitchen but hubby will be happy when my 5 pound limit is lifted as he has to lift just about everything for me.

Tip: I hit the Dollar Store for serving bowls for the dishes I took on Thursday. They were pretty, one use plastic dishes that I had no qualms leaving behind.

 
thanks jean. sounds like you are on the mend. yay! my 6

just returned today from a long weekend at the river---lots of relaxing and craft fair shopping. finally started some holiday shopping.

My lovely SF cranberry apple pie was victim to a sneaky dastardly dog. I had it out cooling on top of the stove, but apparently not out of doggie reach at this house(my dog doesn't do this). before we retired for the night, we noticed the entire center of the pie was missing. gaaaaah. I will have to try that one again.

I made an apple cranberry crisp instead, stealing dried cranberries from the pumpkin granola I just made.

the SF pumpkin pie was fantastic.

leftover apple crisp is lovely stirred into breakfast oatmeal.

I have to confess that I love green bean casserole. yes I do.
