So, how did the day go, everyone? All I had to do was make my sweet potato casserole and take it to my aunt's. But, now that I'm home, there's no leftovers! I think I'll go to the store tomorrow and get some turkey, squash, potatoes, etc.!
I watched the parade this morning, but thought it wasn't as good as in the past.
I posted this on another thread, but thought I'd post here, as well, for good measure, in case anyone missed it.
I had a great dinner today with my Dad and some friends at our local country club restaurant. Wonderful meal, and I didn't have to cook. Free, too, just make a food donation to the local food pantry. Would do it again next year. And I'm gonna cook a big turkey dinner on Saturday, as I'm off. Went walking after the dinner, then to a friend's house for dessert, where we chatted for hours. We had great fun today.

Nice pics, Allison.
I made homemade cranberry sauce the other day, and everyone loved it. It was even easier than yours. Just cranberries, water and sugar. And so tasty. Yours sounds even better. BTW, what does it mean to "zest" an orange????
Karen
more or less to take a grater to the orange rind .... stop before you get to the white part... it's real bitter
I used vanilla sugar in it too... always makes everything better then just plain sugar
:)
Thanks! Yum, that sounds great!
Karen
A great day to all!
My cranberry sauce recipe uses a whole orange cut into chunks and whizzed in the blender with half the cranberries. I used organic sugar this year and the sauce was cloudy instead of clear - wonder if that was caused by the sugar?
might be.... it's not refined right?
I always make wholeberry cranberry sauce with half the amount of sugar Ocean Spray wants me to use - keeps forever and I like it!
Hope you all had a great one and didn't overstuff yourselves. We had my sil and hubby and bil and wife. Then fil and wife came over later for dessert, just enough of a crowd for us.
Your husband's siblings and their spouses. When I think of my sil I think of my husband's brother's wife, so my sister-in-law and her hubby would be my brother-in-law and his wife! Or I suppose my sil and her husband, my brother.
Happy belated Thansgiving wishes to everyone!
We just returned from VT. Had a great holiday.
Who's in Vermont, David? Or was it just a vacation? Glad you had a good time!
My BIL has a big old ski house in Ludlowe. We have had a tradition of all heading up there for Thanksgiving for the last 19 years.
This year was small. Only 18 of us.
You must have been very lonely.
