Going back to work today was difficult; I won't lie. Primarily because Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holiday. It is almost better than Christmas, because I don't have to worry about presents. I love a holiday that revolves around cooking. However I always start my Thanksgiving with our cities 5 mile turkey trot and this year my daughter Sophie decided to join us. Of course afterwards we always stop for coffee. I've got to have my latte.
We serve dinner around 6:30 so I have plenty of time to make dinner, grill the turkey and do any finishing touches. Most of this menu I made ahead on Wednesday and earlier. So yes I did make 3 desserts for 7 people and we ate everything over the weekend.
The table is all set for the meal. I like to use my real silver and good china; it is Thanksgiving after all. This year we served Beaujolais Nouveau and Chateau Ste. Michelle with dinner.
Saturday I went to my indoor farmers' market and picked up some quail eggs. My husband thought they'd be super cute on top of a steak for lunch. They are so buttery and fragile.
Of course what would the end of Thanksgiving be without making the start of the Christmas goodies? White chocolate covered pretzels are a family favorite.
I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with many things for which you are thankful.
As always with love from the Midwest,
Beth
