Thoughtful Thanksgiving?

[gardengirl72]

I have two birds I have saved for the occasion! They are small but delicious. I also save a bunch of pumpkin soup for the day(left over from halloween).

I try to keep it simple though. Holidays always end up being way too much work for me though and wipe me out for a while after.

you have to catch them early in the morning - while they are still sleepy.

we are excited to be eating our own, range-organically grown turkey! It's a big achievement for our family. We grew our own potatoes and I bought local, organic pumpkin. I think I'll break out one jar (of the seven) green beans I canned. My goal is to someday have a completely "home grown" meal.
If I couldn't do that though, I'd be mighty proud just to make it "local".

Another delicious thanks giving meal here! It was almost right out of Michael Polans book OD. So much was raised here on the farmette. It was well received and I was treated like the domestic goddess I am. Way too much work. I need a rest....
