Thanksgiving Preparations




The Thanksgiving preparations are all complete for today! I made an apple pie, a pumpkin pie, the dressing, set the table with my Green Depression Glass, peeled the potatoes and clean up a little. My daughters collect yellow and pink depression glass. One year we used all three colors for Thanksgiving. It looked really pretty!

I had a strange thing happen with the turkey. I thawed out the turkey and I always boil the neck and giblets for stock for my dressing. Well I pulled the neck out of the carcass and I went to pull out the little bag with the giblets and it wasn't there! How could a turkey not have the giblets??? Oh well I used just the neck to made the stock for the dressing. Never had that happen before.

I went to the Dr. this morning and I do have a sinus infection and the start of an ear infection. Good thing I went to the Dr. I've only had one call so far from the office.

Now it's time for me to rest, read and take a nap!!

  1. Beautiful table, I love clear dishes.

    Sorry about the sinus infection, I know the feeling. My doctor called me today to say mine are inflamed. Which means I have had an infection for a long time.

  5. Your dining room looks wonderful, all set for turkey dinner. I'm sure you enjoyed the feast, even minus the giblets!

    I was interested to learn about boiling stock for stuffing. I've never done that before. I don't think anyone in my family has done so.
