Jody Watson and I were talking several months back and decided that it was a definite shame that we feel limited to only once a year to have the
incredible feast that is Thanksgiving. When we checked out the calendar and saw that Memorial Day was roughly six months from Thanksgiving, the notion of "Thanksgiving on the Half-Year" was born.
So, on Memorial Day, the dining room table was again a table filled with a bounty of delicious food and good friends. And it was a happy gathering of 12, making me again happy I've got a table and chairs that will allow for this kind of good time.
On the menu: herbed roasted turkey breast, holiday beef tenderloin with a spicy horseradish sauce, dressing, layered green bean casserole, corn souffle, sweet potato casserole, and dilled carrots. In addition to yesterday's cookies, I also made a black bottom pecan cheesecake pie, and a couple of other desserts were also brought by members of the dinner party.
A bit of a break on the front porch was required before we could dig into the desserts.
