Thanksgiving 2018

 Thanksgiving

I was a little worried the day before since rain was predicted and there were 14 people coming plus my house is small.  Where would we put them?  But luck was with us and the rain did not come.  The 3 youngest and 2 dads flew kites in the yard and Tim barbecued the turkey.

Niece Cindy in Alabama sent roses- 

I made my "Play Squash" dish where I sliced zucchini and yellow squash into a circle, dotted with thin bits of tomato- added a little chicken broth and wine, baked the dish in my special pottery that I brought from Orcas Island pottery.

Of course we had the usual ham, the barbecued turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, the guests brought deviled eggs, homemade bread, and other side dishes.  The most important though in my family is the desserts.  Three pies were made: pumpkin, apple, and a blackberry tart.
