Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was one with many plans that all ended with us having a lovely dinner at home. Greg bought the last turkey at the coop. Dorina generously let us have it. Lucien was very keen on the whole Thanksgiving feast. The night before Dorina brought us a lovely pumpkin bread that we served for breakfast with hot chocolate. It made a festive start to our day.
Then she surprised us with a pie as they headed out to her sisters! It was still warm!

For dinner, Lucien and I started to prepare last night . Lucien wrote out the menu. Surprisingly we were only really missing the brussel sprouts, after the turkey came. So I ran out to find them. We made the stuffing and the cranberry sauce before going to bed. The morning flew by but all went well. And everything came out lovely.Gael decided to finish his writing exercises, the whole last half of the alphabet. I think he was inspired by the thought that he could have a blog.
I made two pies, a cranberry and a pumpkin. Then stuffed the turkey while the pies cooked. Put together the corn pudding, the sweet potato biscuits ready to go, roasted the delicata squash, sweet potatoes and regular ones. Yves and Lucien set Gael and Gabriel up with email addresses and blogs. Time for a break.
