Improving Thanksgiving Dinner
Comments (22)I've smoked ours the last couple years. It's amazing! Put the turkey breast down in roasting tray. Make a tin foil tent ank smoke for about 1 1/2 hrs. Then open up flip and baste. Then it's another hour or so. Just look up herb & honey smoked turky on allrecipies.com. I'll look when I get home and copy link for you. It was easily the best turkey I've ever had. I would reccomend putting the turkey on a rack in the pan so it doesn't stick to the pan....See MoreThanksgiving Dinner Table & New Finds (pics)
Comments (30)Thank you for your kind words! I like you all very much and admire your own talents in decorating, so it means a lot to know that my own efforts look good to you. OA, I'm really incredibly touched that you think my home looks very welcoming. This has always been my main goal and I'm happy that it shows. A place that's a showplace but unwelcoming and not warm is a house, not a home in my mind. Here's a pic I took recently of my living room. It was heading towards dusk, so it's not the greatest picture. I'm also including one of the table's edge, too. Jeanne, it's so nice to "meet" you! I love your turkey in a cage. What a fun idea! It looks to be the same one that Jane has this year. Lynn...See MoreVery cute video/song about a challenging Thanksgiving dinner
Comments (4)That was well done and enjoyable. This Thanksgiving will be the first time I'll have a vegan and a vegetarian joining us. The vegetarian will eat fish but the vegan doesn't - she says she's just a 'twigs and berries' eater. It should be interesting....See MoreThis is my LAST Thanksgiving dinner ever.
Comments (48)I also had a day which I am sure I won't forget. My family was together for the first time in quite a while and I was feeling so content. Almost finished with dinner when oldest daughter took offense at something my middle daughter said in jest and certainly not maliciously. Oldest daughter said very loudly that we all come and eat her food that she has prepared and then criticize her and the way she lives. She said if we don't like the way she is we can just stay home. We all sat in shock including her husband. He kept saying that we were just having fun and honestly and truly there was nothing mean or disrespectful said. She ended up leaving the table and when I tried to approach her she told me to leave her alone. We have had so much sadness and difficult times in the last few years and this seemed to be a special holiday. I just don't even know what to say to her and we are supposed to be going out of town tomorrow (me and her family). I am really heartbroken and I think this may cause a permanent split in the family. I never in a million years would have expected this from her and Im very sad. Caroline, I am so sorry-didn't mean to hijack your post. I do want to let you know I understand the pain and empty feeling you must have. Satine...See More
