  19. I love Thanksgiving meals (especially since it’s also my birthday-time!), and the traditional ones that I remember as a child are my favorite – my grandmother always made yummy brussels sprouts with chestnuts and bacon, and a beautiful turkey. My grandfather would make lumpy mashed potatoes that were so creamy and rich, you didn’t even need the (delicious) turkey gravy. Even when my family moved to the South, Mom always got the recipes from her mom and made them for us. Now that it’s my turn to host and make Thanksgiving dinner for my parents and sister, I can’t wait to bring out the recipes I grew up with. I am adding a new variation on pumpkin pie, and Mom is making her “famous” cranberry jello salad (sounds crazy, but is AMAZING on turkey and with a little whipped cream for a refreshing dessert), but the memories that come with the tradition are my favorite.

    Reply

    1. Those are great memories! And it’s my birthday-time, too! So much fun to get to celebrate with your whole family around, isn’t it?

      Reply

  20. Wow! Well done that’s quite the library. I’m sure many people will be grateful of the ideas. I might even be tempted to have a Thanksgiving here in Australia!
