There was the preparation.
One new recipe,
the rest... tried and true favorites.
Grandmama's black iron skillet.
Nanny's silver spoons.
Meme's chocolate pie.
a table set for four.
a helper in the kitchen.
Our first roasted turkey, our first Thanksgiving in our home.
This was our first Thanksgiving that we were not back home. The first I can remember not at my grandparents' in Jackson. But it was a beautiful day. I loved waking up with our family here and cooking in the kitchen all morning. No stress, no pressure...peaceful. Time enjoying one another's company and lots of good food.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 4:15
