I’ve been reading reviews all morning and I was ready for pork and hush puppies and collards and mac n cheese.

"That moment" for me is the day before when the pies are baking. It is Thanksgiving when those smells are in the air absolutely.

We did not have butternut squash and I truly love it to pieces. We also do not have cornbread dressing and I love that TOO. We make the bread stuffing my family always makes. I'm afraid my Yankee ancestors did not cook Southern dishes. More's the pity is all I can say about that. I am sure the old King must have found out where you live and helped himself to all of the marvelous food and pies. I know your Thanksgiving dinner was amazing and delicious. Ours was too.<br /><br />Stay warm and cozy my dear friend. We had snow and the grands made a snowman in miniature because there was not a lot of the white stuff. However, it was glorious to my Florida grands.<br /><br />Love you bunches,<br />JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-17584335038150757972014-11-27T19:33:21.745-05:002014-11-27T19:33:21.745-05:00I almost feel like I am in your kitchen, and right...I almost feel like I am in your kitchen, and right by your side dear Rachel. (Can I come next year?) I don't think I've ever read such a vivid, delight-filled, and superbly written description of a cook in her bustling Thanksgiving kitchen. As always, reading your thoughts always fills my heart with joy and brimgs a smile to my face. <br /><br />YOU are a treasure.<br /><br />Wishing you and yours a cozy and memorable Thanksgiving Day.<br /><br />P.S. I'm pooped, with feet up, and hoping you're doing the same. xoEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251183287178856363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-43150073093431748212014-11-27T16:04:26.699-05:002014-11-27T16:04:26.699-05:00Your observations through the memories of smells w...Your observations through the memories of smells was fun to read. The sage and the turkey are my main clues of knowing it is Thanksgiving time. Sweet potatoes have a great smell that we rarely ever prepare except on holidays. Thanks for sharing all the smells of Thanksgiving. L.

Princess came over last night to use our larger kitchen for her prep. The turkey is cooked, and liptauer cheese made, and sour cream potatoes creamed. Sweet potatoes have been shredded for some quick fried concoction she's doing. The dressing is ready to go, and quick pickles made. She left here late in the evening noting the need to make her corn dish, and a salad. This morning I woke hours too early so I went ahead and made my apple pecan coconut cake (the only note in my baking symphony, alas). Other desserts and bread and wine and sides and fill-ins are being brought by us and others. Blessings will be counted and calories decidedly NOT. <br /><br />We pray in gratitude for you and your family, today and always.steelersandstartrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945760858360791814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-15831682633404612122014-11-27T08:02:51.794-05:002014-11-27T08:02:51.794-05:00Happy Thanksgiving my friend!
