Thanksgiving
Well, Thanksgiving is now over (both of them- ha ha). It was very nice. Again this year, I cooked a traditional Ringle Thanksgiving meal. About a month ago, I thought maybe we should skip the hassle and go out for Thanksgiving. But as the day approached, I wanted more and more to have all the items that I remember from growing up. So on Monday, I headed to Food Lion and picked up a 13.5 lb Turkey (the smallest I could find), ingred.'s for stuffing, cranberry sauce, the must-have cauliflower dish, and ingred.'s for Thomas Jefferson Biscuits. It turned out to be about the right amount. We had leftovers, but not too many.
On Friday, all the women/girls in the family go shopping! So we met up at Aunt Grace's house (my Chinese Aunt) and left from there. Mom rode with me and the girls while everyone else piled into Heather's van. I had a great time with my Mom! It felt just like old times.

Uh, next time you can remove the plastic from the turkey legs (truss with string if you like) it's used at the plant and not necessary during cooking. Where's the green bean casserole and pearled onions???
Looks yummy!
Hey anonymous,
You know, I used to use the string but they said on the packaging that I could keep it on during cooking. I found it made the preparation a little less daunting. The green bean casserole and pearl onions took a back seat this year.
Thanks for the comments.
Looks very good Jennifer. I am glad you also had a good time shopping with the girls.

I am so happy for you and your Mom. That is fabulous and a real answer to our prayers. Do the Decocks have any traditional Thanksgiving dishes you could incorporate into the meal. (I'm thinking, I'm not sure). Oh, I know, the green stuff. OR is that a Christmas tradition?!
Lynne,
