The Tall One has returned home, and the Pouting Princess will be here tomorrow. It's funny how these little putti reminded me of them when Miss Morning Glory and I were exploring the many nooks and crannies at Adam and Eve. We pick up our bird today and tomorrow will start baking the Blessed Flourless Chocolate Cake. Enjoy your gatherings and your pumpkin pies! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Posted: November 09, 2010 05:11 Last Updated: | Jean Dixon SandersNovember 9, 2010This is not verisimilitude. This is food that has been styled. Cranberry jelly is another one of the last minute items thrown onto the Thanksgiving table just as I am peeling my fingerprints from the roasting pan in my annual attempt at mastering gravy prep. Perhaps I will add it to the Tall One's responsibilities this year - although I wouldn't want to interrupt the flow of his mashed potato concentration. Once he grasped the concept that cream makes all the difference in the mashing process he has gone to town with the potatoes - which are surely more important tha...

Posted: November 08, 2010 05:46 Last Updated: | Jean Dixon SandersNovember 8, 2010Here are green beans in an almost natural state - before those Thanksgiving cooks get their anxious little hands on them and boil them down to a gray, congealing mass, covered with canned mushroom soup and French's fried onions. When I do remember the green beans (there have been a couple of Thanksgivings when the Beaujolais Nouveau caught up with me) I try to cook them in a flash; steamed for just a couple of minutes, before slipping them into a Revere bowl, when they are a bright spring green and crisp as an apple. If someone offers to bring the green beans to your...

Posted: November 05, 2010 05:54 Last Updated: | Jean Dixon Sanderst's Food Friday!We have to keep it simple today since some of the Gentle Readers will be gearing up for the scrum at the H&M opening in Palm Beach. (Charles and Camilla are going,too. I'm on deadline, so I hope they bring me something nice!)I have raised a family of renegades. They do not like pumpkin pie. They do not like pecan pie. They do not like apple pie. At birthdays they demand Boston Cream Pie, and at Thanksgiving they expect Chocolate Pudding Pie á la Ken. It is a secret family recipe, rather like Rice Krispies Treats. Be sure to sigh, and dust yourself with flour so p...

Posted: November 04, 2010 05:30 Last Updated: | Jean Dixon SandersNovember 4, 2010While I pursue the Thanksgiving theme I was struck by an odd coincidence. We have a collection of odd sterling - wedding gifts, hand-me-downs, thrift shop treasures and eBay bargains. We have pickle forks (very handy at Thanksgiving), cake forks, ice cream forks, cruets, ladles, salt bowls, punch bowls - a vast compendium of serving implements from another time. Lady Marjorie would perhaps smile sadly at the assortment of napkin rings - which I hasten to assure her I only use for the most ceremonious occasions. She thought napkin rings were so middle class - clearly ...

Posted: November 03, 2010 04:39 Last Updated: | Jean Dixon SandersNovember 3, 2010Maria von Trapp can have all the brown paper packages she wants - one of my favorite things is a nice, 1950's-style bowl of pickles on the table at Thanksgiving. And while I suppose we could have a bowl of them any other night during the year,it seems more Thanksgiving-y to set out a little dish amid the clamor and chaos that is our family celebration. Along with the celery bowl and the olives, the cranberry jelly replete with the striped indentations of the tin, the gravy boat and the beans that have almost been forgotten, again.I saw a kingfisher sitting on the rai...
