Even more than your , as usual , wonderful recipes, many , many thanks for sharing your childhood memories of Thanksgiving, with us. What came to my mind, whilst reading them, was that we Americans, no matter what ethinic background, have taken so to Thanksgiving and made it our own, with " familial " , old world foods.
My hertiage is Hungarian, and desert, for Thanksgiving, was always two different kinds of strudel ( usually apple/ walnut amd cherry/almond )and homemade, from scratch, pumpkin pie. Hungarian cucumber salad was ( still is ! ) as necessary to serve, as cranberry dressing ( again, two kinds. LOL ), with the turkey.
An early HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you too, old friend. :-)
I'm dreaming on Gaspachee Salad and Sun Tea as part of our family's Thanksgiving dinner.
Good morning my dear friend, it's that time of year once again... the Holidays. They are my children's' favorite time, and my family stays so close at this time of year, in almost constant contact. For me it will be a bit emptier, and posting recipes and seeing old friends only reminds me of those dear friends and loved ones not returning for a warm hug.
As for strudel, I happen to know you have some wonderful recipes... LOL ?????????
