Good evening, dear friends...
I just wanted to take a minute & wish you all a blessed, peaceful Thanksgiving. I have been cleaning house & baking all day, and will continue with the cooking tomorrow! I love Thanksgiving & all it encompasses... family, friends, appreciating what we have to be thankful for, and of course... the FOOD! I love to bake & cook much more than I love housework, and I cook from scratch, so it takes a day or two! Today, I brined the turkey, roasted a variety of squash, made a batch of Coffee Cream Brulee and began other preparations to make all tomorrow's work a bit quicker. (The chickens, ducks, geese & guineas had an early Thanksgiving feast, as all the scraps, seeds & parings were saved for their dinner this evening!) Mom is making an apple pie, and hopefully tomorrow, we will find time to gather pine boughs for holiday decoration & to sell this weekend in our Barn-Shop. We had a bit of snow & it is very wet in the woods... but hopefully will be drier come tomorrow afternoon. Besides, I need to gather more kindling while we're out there!
This will be a bittersweet Thanksgiving for all of us without my dad being with us this year. I miss him so much, but know he will be with us in spirit.
I have a breakfast recipe for you to try... for Pumpkin Pancakes. I hope you'll give them a try, & I hope you'll like this recipe! Have a wonderful relaxing Thanksgiving from Laura of Wildenblue Farm.
