We used to use real trees 20 years ago, but started using only fake ones because the real trees are super messy, sometimes turn brown if you forget to water them, and one year we found bugs in the real tree!
It's been raining s lot here too and next week we are supposed to get dumped on at record amounts! Like a weeks worth of rain in one day! Luckily the temps are currently very mild
So far I have written all of my Christmas cards and made a few homemade gifts this year including 2 nautical rugs out of anchor line from our first sailboat, a ditty bag made from sail cloth that sinches up with brass grommets, and an apron with a cat print on it. The rest of the gifts will be...
I had 4, 5, 6, and 9 and there were some classes where there was just a long continuous table with chairs along the sides. Also we had some classes that had a large square table and 4 kids shared each table.
Thank you very much! I'm totally going to make this next time I get groceries!!
My daughter makes a similar pesto at Christmas and we always smother our Salmon En Croute with that pesto! It is wonderful! She makes it in advance so all of the flavors can do their magic!
I haven't really made any sauces with these wild greens, but I do love the dandelion greens in a salad, the miner's lettuce on tacos and burgers, and the sheep sorrel on tacos. The stinging nettle has been great in tea, in ramen soup, and in shrimp/fettuccine stir fries with butter!
We are going to have turkey, Grandma's homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner rolls, yam bake, green bean supreme casserole, cranberry sauce, homemade cheese ball with crackers, homemade salal mead, champagne, and pumpkin pie!
What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? This question is for everyone. Mine is the homemade cheese ball with crackers! We always snack on that while the bird slowly cooks!
