Thanksgiving 2011
We had a very happy Thanksgiving, and quite a feast — roast turkey, mushroom and hickory nut stuffing, sweet potatoes, strawberry jello mold, green beans with almonds, and, a last-minute addition, Jen’s flash-pickled daikon radishes, broccoli stems, red radishes and carrots, all from the garden.
We had a 2:1 person-to-pie ratio, which in many circles is considered optimal. Julie contributed the pumpkin pie, while Jen made apple and hickory nut.
Some things never change.
On Sunday, Grandpa revealed to Sarah his Secret Project. She may possibly have had some idea of what Grandpa was doing spending all that time in the barn, why he kept coming up to the house to measure things, and why he kept making trips to the hardware store — she is very perceptive, plus her Aunt Roxy told her that her grandfather was building a dollhouse. Nevertheless, it was thrilling for Sarah see it for the first time. While it isn’t completely finished, it is quite beautiful. I hope Sarah appreciates it as much as we do.
Astute rhinebeckfarm.com viewers will see that the dollhouse is a pretty good likeness.
