Thanksgiving Day 2018, a good day to celebrate friends and family, and to be grateful. We put fresh cranberries in the stuffing.

Hmong Farmers
Bought produce for Thanksgiving, grown by Hmong American farmers, at our neighborhood Mill City Farmers Market.
Butter and Flour
Began stocking up on ingredients for Thanksgiving, starting with the important stuff: flour and butter for pie crusts.
Hardly Leftovers
Prepared dinner with carefully curated ingredients: everything left over from Thanksgiving, except pumpkin pie, stuffing and cranberry. Tomorrow: farce galettes au compote de canneberges (stuffing patties with stewed cranberry for dipping).
Leftovers Become Fine Ingredients
Today is the official start of our Holiday Leftovers Season. I reincarnated root vegetable mash as “panko-encrusted croquettes.”
Goose on the Weber
Departed from tradition: cooked a goose on the Weber.
White Thanksgiving
White Thanksgiving. Finally it snowed.
Dress Rehearsal
Dress rehearsal for Thanksgiving. I still have my fingers.
My Favorite Holiday
My favorite holiday: cook, chat, eat, no gifts, be grateful.
Seasonally Appropriate
It’s going to be a white Thanksgiving.
