Thanksgiving

Oliver and I are making the bulk of the thanksgiving meal this year! Here is what we have planned:

Cornish Game hens (easier than Turkey)
Wild rice with roasted sqaush, pearl onions, and sunflower seed dressing
Orange ginger cranberry sauce
Pan fried brussel sprouts
Roasted carrots, brocolli and cauliflower
Cornbread
Green Salad with Persimmons and hazlenuts


Oliver's sister Katherine is making sweet potatoes and bread stuffing and his other sister is making pumpkin pie for dessert. Katherine is also buying a pecan pie. I know, I am a bad, bad southerner, letting someone BUY the pecan pie. But I have enough to do!

Say hi to everyone tomorrow for me. Hopefully everything will go okay on this coast.

It will be a great Thanksgiving. Even the words look edible and delicious. I have never prepared Cornish game hens and am eager to hear how it goes. It's at Oriana's, right? Nice that you won't have to clear the table and do the dishes (I hope). It sounds like you are feeling better after the weekend. I'm really sorry you had that awful night. Oliver remained untouched?

Oh man--I wish I could eat some of that!! The rice with squash sounds particularly tasty. You have your work cut out for you.

Michael and I are doing an apple pie and mac 'n' cheese.

THat was Libby's salad, right? Were the cornish game hens in fact easier than turkey? Bold and wonderful.
