Thanksgiving success

It was a quiet year around our house but nice just the same. Instead of one big sit down meal we ate individual courses as they were ready. A simple salad. French bread. A chopped turkey salad. An actual roast turkey with homemade gravy. (I put granny smith apples, leeks and rosemary in with the turkey to roast which adds a nice flavor to the gravy). We made cranberry sauce and marshmellow sweet potato casserole. Late in the day we made a cheesecake and whipped some fresh cream.

Sheela and her friend Anna are now experimenting in the kitchen. It started with green pancakes with chocolate chips. Then they started mixing in sprinkles and halloween candy. Luckily I've already eaten... they are talking about making the bacon blue.
