Thanksgiving Menu
We out for lunch at Earl's yesterday with my family for Thanksgiving. It was nice and nothing to clean up. Since we're still not 100% after having not-COVID, Mom wanted to make it easy on me. I still plan on making dinner for hubs and myself though.
Green salad
Craisin cranberry sauce
Stovetop Stuffing (hubs loves it)
Turkey breast (in the slow cooker)
Carrots
Creamer potatoes
Buns
Cherry Jell-o and whipped cream
I have this music playing today--I've longed to write something meaningful about Granny for some died. She passed away on the same day as we were married (different year) and her funeral was on my birthday. I feel so entwined with her life for that. Genealogy has helped me understand a lot about Granny's complex life and it's on days like this when I feel closest to her--putting on a big spread for family. Granny loved her home and it was always a place to be--when I think of Thanksgiving, I think of her wrestling a big turkey in and out of the oven for decades.
It's funny, when we moved into our house, I started receiving two magazines--one was a Kraft cooking magazine and the other was Chatelaine. I never knew who subscribed me to these, but I strongly sense it was Granny. There aren't a lot of things that one can pass down when there's such a big age gap--but a sense of home is certainly one of them <3
