With Thanksgiving right around the corner, tomorrow, I’ve been busy cleaning and cooking like mad as two of my sons and their families are coming for dinner tomorrow. I baked a big Hopi Pale Grey squash (our favorite), planning on having half of it as a side dish tomorrow and the other half, I made into two pumpkin pies. Those are Will’s very favorite. Skip the pumpkin and use Hopi Pale Grey instead! I also got a big pan of rolls baked and a pot of potatoes boiled to make garlic mashed potatoes. I make them ahead, only having to warm up the pan on Thanksgiving, lessening the cooking on the <\/em>day.<\/p>\n

I also put together two of our favorite cheesecakes with cherry topping. The cherries are from our trees this year so we’re especially thankful. I made a big bowl of cranberry orange relish, using some cranberries our friend, Heather, picked. It’s so much fun to use ingredients from our garden and gifts from friends. I’ve got a 22-pound turkey thawing out, ready to stuff tomorrow morning. Lots of miscellaneous goodies to also go on the table. Mostly, we’re very thankful for each and everything we have \u2014 home, great gardens, lots of firewood, and especially friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n
