Thanksgiving Bounty

Steve, Lian and Geoffrey came from Columbus OH to share our Thanksgiving. Sue had to work and her Mom just had surgery. We miss you Sue! We jhope your Mom is doing great!
Thursday morning the sun was killing off the fog and the temps rose quickly to 40 degrees. It would be 65 by the time we sat down at the feast table.
I went off to the garden to harvest our veggies for dinner.
Purple Cauliflower, beets, carrots, leeks, radishes, lettuce and swiss chard all were covered with cold dewy drops.
The menu:
Bourbon Maple Turkey with cornbread, mushrooms, apple and sauasage stuffing.
Potato and leek gratin
Candied sweet potatoes with maple bourbon sauce (we definitely didn't make enough of these)
Roasted Cauliflower, turnip and beets with balsamic reduction glaze
Green sald with our last two summer tomatoes, lettuce, beet greens and radishes with a classic french vinaigrette.
Pies for dessert:
Maple Bourbon Pecan with whipped cream
Apple Pie with maple
Sweet Potato Pie with marshmellows on top (thank you mama Johnson)
You can see a theme here! Real Maple Syrup. We love it. And this feast could not have happened with out receiving a box from Louisette just in time with cans of Canadian maple syrup!
Blessing to share and enjoy for days. Today, turkey soup and turkey sandwiches! Yummy!!!!!
