I hope everyone had a great T-day!
Went to my cousin Karen's in Mentor, OH for T-day.
I brought the rolls (my grandmother's crescent rolls).
I tried something new this year and made one recipe of
them using part whole wheat flour as I had some in the
fridge and wanted to use it up. (I tend to buy it to
make something and then the rest just sits around forever
and eventually gets rancid. I just don't use it very
often.)
My aunt made the sweet potato casserole (2 actually - one
with pecans on top and one without for me and my cousin's
husband). She also made pumpkin pies and one pecan pie
and one pecanless pie (guess who for?). And she made a
cranberry waldorf salad (sort of like ambrosia with
cranberries, apples, walnuts (a *pain* to pick out) and
mini marshmallows.
Karen's daughter brought a vegetarian lasagne since she's
a vegetarian. It's wasn't too bad and the mushrooms were
in big pieces so I was able to negotiate around them.
Karen made the turkey, 2 stuffings (one vegetarian), and
the gravy, mashed potatoes, and peas. Everything was
good except the stuffing which had all kinds of [censored] in
it (by [censored] I mean celery and carrots and stuff like that)
that I hate in stuffing. And it was all sort of mushed up
together in a way that you couldn't easily pick the stuff
out. So, I can't wait until this weekend when I do my own
turkey and make my Corn-Sausage Stuffing.
