Nearly Thanksgiving already? We are hosting some friends, feeding a total of three adults, three teens, and one toddler. It's actually the husband who does most of the cooking as my workplace (a school) has scheduled vacation days only; I will be making pies the day before but he'll do most of the rest. This year we are eating:
Pumpkin pie with homegrown squash and our own eggs. We're still getting a couple eggs a day (unlike in previous years). And there is plenty of squash. In fact, we'll be serving it as a vegetable side too, either in cubes or as puree.
Homegrown cabbage from the allotment. There are only two winter cabbages this year, as the slugs and bugs disappeared the rest, but one is ready to pick now. I was thinking of saving it till Christmas, but might as well eat it with friends.
I will have a good prod around the rows to find a couple of nice parsnips too--hopefully there are some good sized ones, like the one I dug up last week.
Our turkey came from the supermarket, as did the potatoes, but we'll make some gravy using our garlic and herbs.
And one more pie: cherry pie from last year's cherries, waiting in the freezer all this time.
