Thanksgiving blessings to all.
As we take full measure of our blessings over the past year, we prepare the feast.
Every year it seems our perfect Thanksgiving changes just a wee bit and holds its own on time honored traditions.
This year's perfect menu:
Curried Pumpkin Seeds and Spiced Pecans
Savory Pumpkin Soup
Turkey Steamed in Wine and Leeks
Herb Gravy
Cranberry Lemon Rosemary Sauce
Scalloped Oysters
Sourdough Almond and Apple Dressing
Sauteed Garden Succatash
Haricots Vert with Chanterelles
Roasted Butternut Squash with Cardomom Brown Butter
Pecan Pie
I know we're supposed to be sad there are no Dungeness Crabs this year. But somehow our perfect menu seems, well, just about perfect already.
The bounty seems to grow and grow, in fact, with each moment.
Here's hoping your bounty, too, multiplies in full measure of your generosity in the winter ahead.
