Starter:
Field Green Salad ...Same Menu Every Year:<br /><br />Starter:<br />Field Green Salad w/a Balsamic Vinegar dressing<br /><br />Main Course:<br />Brined & Roasted Turkey<br />Grandpa Jimmy's Cornbread Stuffing (shh... secret recipe)<br />"Loaded" Mashed Potatoes (salt, pepper, butter, milk, sour cream)<br />Fresh Steamed Green Beans<br />Glazed Baby Carrots w/ Dill ("saute" in chicken broth until tender then toss with butter & dill)<br />Corn (canned w/butter, salt & pepper)<br />Gravy (jarred- never learned how to do Grandpa Jimmy's)<br />Whole Cranberry Sauce<br />Dinner Rolls<br /><br />Dessert:<br />Usually we do a pumpkin cheesecake. This year is different and special. This year we will have Baskin-Robbins Clown Cones (if I can find them).<br /><br />This is my ultimate comfort food. If you were to ask me what I would want my last meal to include... Thanksgiving dinner is it. I am not a big eater, I generally eat because I have too. I have lots of favorite foods that change minute to minute but, Thanksgiving dinner is pure joy to me.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-50017019373858519632011-11-10T07:09:46.272-05:002011-11-10T07:09:46.272-05:00Thank you so much for sharing all of that, Sherry!...Thank you so much for sharing all of that, Sherry!
