My grandchildren, Mia and Milo, arrived last night just in time for supper. Here the are having breakfast this morning:
While they ate, I made the brine for the turkey:
I didn’t get a pic of the nude turkey going into the brine, but suffice it to say, it is not a pretty picture!
We took Maggie for a walk – forgot the camera.
Just found out that Steph has pics of our walk here.
Then I made two pies for tomorrow (pumpkin streusel and chocolate pecan):
While the kids got in some play time.
After lunch we went to the Snoopy museum:
Then we went to Healdsburg, the hometown of list mom, Diane. I was inspired to buy some great stuff for M & M at Scout, our favorite children’s store. Then we took a break at a cafe for drinks and cookies:
Oh, oh! Somebody conked out!
Instead of eating out, we opted for pizza at home.
I had time, while the oven was hot, to roast tomatoes and red onions which will be combined with green beans tomorrow.
A lovely day!
pecan pie – mine did not set up… Any advice?
Everything looked GREAT! We were less Martha around my table. Plain green beans, plain butternut squash/sweet pototo/yam boil, canned whole cranberry sauce, followed but pecan ice cream topping in a pie shell…..
P.S. Martha is a good thing, just too much for me.
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m having a great time going round the blogs looking at all the photos of FOOD!!!
i was almost gonna say — what, mia doesn’t have a dress on? and then she stood up in the next pic…had pizza last noc too with my nieces and nephew…happy thanksgiving!
Mia and Milo are so lucky to have you for a grandma, Gerrie
