It's that time again for food and friends and family, or whatever your tradition is. So what's on the agenda for y'all? We will be at my nephew's that day. Instead of turkey I'm making a couple of pork loins with different sauces (one herbs and the other lemon garlic). There will be a roast chicken for the girls in case they don't like the pork. Then the sides (salad, roast veggies, stuffing, etc). And a pumpkin pie. The +1 has to have a pumpkin pie. And some kind of alcohol. I plan to get a bottle of prosecco spumante. I was on a pinot grigio kick for a long time, but prosecco has taken over.

The +1 will be running the Alexandria Turkey Trot that morning, maybe with the nephew.

 

Just heard this AM there is a salmonella scare. Fake news from the ham industry??

We are cooking and will hope to escape salmonella. Our son and his family and my sister and her husband will join us. We are pretty low key with this and quite traditional with the meal. So much work for 15 minutes of eating....At least we no longer have to prepare chicken nuggets for the grandson. He graduated to eating turkey last year. He's still a picky eater but improving.

 

Just stopped at the local market and ordered the complete turkey dinner! No cooking this year!!!!

 

 

^ OT - Dave...do you keep in touch with any of the ladies in your avatar? That goes WAY BACK!

 

 

My sister-in-law recently purchased an historic mansion with plans for a bed and breakfast/wedding venue. Family Thanksgiving will be held in style this year.

 

Nice!!
