Pre-Thanksgiving Thoughts


For the first time in over five years, I will not be hosting Thanksgiving for my family. It's been here at Farmdale for the past three years since moving in, and prior to that, I'd always prepped in my tiny Detroit kitchen and finished off at my parents' house.


But this year, having finished off some recent renovation at their house, my brother and his wife have offered to host both sides of the family for Thanksgiving dinner. And I, being the ever-so-gracious person that I am, acquiesced.


But, I have not gone away without any assignments: my sis-in-law called me last night to ask me to make a couple of her favorites from my repetoire. So, this year, I will be making fresh cranberry sauce and a sweet potato mash topped with pecan streusel.


It's been a few years since I improvised those, so I hope I can replicate them this time around. Stay tuned!
