The last few years, we have had Frozen Turkey meals along with instant mash potatoes, yams, cranberries, veggies, salad, celery stalks with cream cheese filling, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. A low profile celebration, but one we enjoy together at home. What are you having?
Yes. I am cooking a turkey and having all the trimmings that go with it, and then some. I'm tired already.
We will be having one of the turkeys we recently butchered. One family with a type 1 diabetic child won't eat anything with the least amount of added sugar, and most of the store-bought ones have sugar somewhere. Salads, Turkey, deviled eggs (probably), home-canned pickles and relishes, toasted pumpkin seeds, sugar-free pumpkin custard of some kind from pumpkins we grew. The custard will be served inside a Blue Prince Pumpkin as a serving dish. Probably some other stuff as well. We will have 13 people here for dinner.
I just realized that the Thanksgivings that my Wife and I enjoy today, are "fossils" or remnants of the "real" ones we experienced in years past. That is a good thing! I hope we never give up trying. God's blessings are always the whole "Menu", and are never scaled back! On Thanksgiving, our food always has come in second.
