| Ineffectual staking method, Nov 2018 |
Thanksgiving once more! We celebrated it at our friends' house; there were a total of four adults, and three children under the age of 10. Because my No Buy Vegetable Challenge is still not quite completed (four more days now), we arranged that I would bring the turkey and gravy, and my garden grown Brussels sprouts, and they would supply the potatoes and another vegetable dish of their choosing. We also agreed to each bake a pie: mine being pumpkin--or squash in this case--which was homegrown as were the eggs (well, three of them: only Cookie's laying and as she's a bantam, her eggs are pretty small).
It occured to me afterward that one of our spring hatched Australorp/Orpington cockerels would have made a fine Thanksgiving bird (not as big as the turkey we bought, but certainly large enough for a festive meal); too bad we ate them long ago this summer. It's something to think about for the future.
