So many things on the table or used to make this meal came from so many people–gifts, items i received after their death, etc…so even if you don’t see yourself there consider that so many gifts and memories went into the prep as well.

Once again, i smoked a turkey.

I didnt follow my own recipe so it wasnt as perfect as usual (and grilled turkey people is great!)

Heres a peek at her prep:

Mashed potatoes, yams and pumpkin:

Gluten free stuffing:

Gluten free green beans with a nod to walmart for gluten free cream of mushroom and sprouts for gluten free fried onions.

Deviled eggs:

Pickled peppers with goat cheese, cucumber and mint:

A thanksgiving cocktail with sparkling apple, cranberry, sage, lemon and mionetto rose in our waterford flutes:

In the background of the table pic, you will see Jim’s watergate salad of pistachio, pineapple, nuts, etc.

And our pies:

Scratch pumpkin and a pecan with gluten free crust.

Lost of leftovers….just the two of us.
