Hello, Fellow Foodies.  It is evening here, and we have finished our Thanksgiving meal.  It was incredibly tasty if I say so myself.  My husband deep fried the turkey, which is a tradition that took me a while to appreciate, but one I absolutely love now.  Nothing quite like crunch turkey skin, and it is one less thing to have in the oven.  I did make-ahead gravy from the giblets, green beans & red onions, sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, a squash yam & ginger-brown-sugar mash plus cranberry relish.  Champagne rounded out the meal nicely.  As it was just the two of us, I skipped two favorite dishes this year, crab cakes and mom's applesauce.  As full as I am, I really did miss them.

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, one filled with gratitude for the gift of life and whatever delicious food you ate today.  Thanks for joining us here.
