We have so much to be thankful for this year! It's been a great year in South Asia, our kids are growing and are healthy, and God has provided for our family in so many miraculous ways this year.
This year, our Thanksgiving celebration is turning out to be a lot smaller than in years past. I'm okay with that. : ) We'll have five adults and our kids. So my menu is pretty scaled down, and I haven't started cooking yet. That's only because my husband is out of town, but coming back today, and I've not been feeling well. Hopefully I'll be up to starting tomorrow.
So, this year, my menu looks like this:
-Baked Brie with maple syrup and pecans, crackers for appetizer
-Apple cider
-Roasted Rosemary Chickens
-Grandma's Stuffing
-Baked Winter Squash Gratin (I'm using kaddu)
-Mashed Potatoes
-Bay Scented Lentil and Red Cabbage Salad with Bacon
-Grandma's Yeast Rolls
-Iced Tea
-Pecan Pie
-Pumpkin Pie
This all sounds really good to me, but my only hesitation is that there's nothing really green on the table. If I have time, I might do some bacon-wrapped green beans. But I also have to remember that I'm working around a 2-hour morning power cut from 9-11. That will throw a kink in my planning, I think. : )
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
