November 22

In 2012 today is Thanksgiving – have a great time! The menu suggestion for a fancy Thanksgiving dinner from 52 Sunday Dinners from 1913 is
Oyster Soup with Oyster Crackers
Celery
Pepper Mangoes

Roast Turkey with Bread Stuffing and Giblet Sauce
Cranberry Jelly
Mashed Potatoes
Baked Hubbard Squash
Sweet Corn New England Style (they call for "green corn" and make it into an eggy custard)
Creamed Onions
Spiced Pears
Hot Cabbage Slaw

Thanksgiving Pudding with Drawn Butter Sauce (sounds like a spiced steamed cake with raisins and currants, with a sauce including nutmeg and brandy and butter)
Pumpkin Pie (its flavorings are brown sugar, rosewater, brandy, lemon, ginger, cinnamon)
Apple Pie
Fresh Fruits
Nuts
Raisins
Stuffed Dates (recipe not specified)

Water Biscuits
Cheese
Café Noir

This is my all-time-favorite Thanksgiving artwork, because even our normally not-very-excited kitty got very excited about the menu on Thanksgiving:


Today is national Cashew Day!
