Thanksgiving Recap

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

Ours was peaceful and full of food (two Thanksgiving dinners, remember?), with a little gardening thrown in for good measure.

These are a few things I learned along the way:

• St. André cheese with strawberries - excellent!
• Mashed potatoes and creamed corn are a match made in heaven, even when the creamed corn is a little salty.
• Fresh herbs make white beans delectable.
• Scalloped potatoes are the easiest way to get rave reviews.
• It's hard to screw up white bread rolls.
• The pressure cooker is great for root vegetables.
• Pink Lady apples make excellent applesauce.
• Pie takes practice - once a year is not cutting it (see last year's Thanksgiving recap).
