Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, came this year on a beautiful but crisp sunny day, but the warmth around the table when dinner was called was unmistakable. With a smaller contingent of just six this year, it put no crimp in my usual full spread, and I was thinking there'd be abundant leftovers for the weekend. Alas, they were gobbled (!) up rather quickly!

Cranberry Salad |
Two added bonuses: I actually got around to making my mother's recipe for cranberry salad, which had not shown up here since 2010; and in spite of a group vote from two years ago, I brought corn pudding back from exile and was glad that I did. It was a bit sweet, but what's not to love about corn pudding?
