Pictures from a Day of Thanksgiving
I visited my mother for awhile this morning----watched the Macy's parade with her. She was much more herself than yesterday. I told her how thankful I was for her. We missed her terribly by having my brother in law Dennis here made it a holiday and we had a really good time.....despite the fact that I ended up making no dessert (I know----the horror!) and one less vegetable than planned.....my turkey was pretty damn good if I do say so myself....and Ernie wanted to drink my gravy straight.....
Despite my intermittent complaints I am very thankful for what I have and for those I love. And DAMN if I don't have two wonderful little guys..... Happy Thanksgiving all!
my meat pie:
pistachios and shallots for my brussels sprouts:
Ernie's comment on this picture was to say that it was the late 50's model that had fins. What kind of man looks a turkey and sees a vintage car?
My mother's Spode. She had given it to Judi and now it is ours.
One of my very favorite flint 1850-60s goblets: Bulls Eye with Fleur de Lys. Gorgeous pattern.....
