Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving came and went, and give thanks we did. I had a small dinner with my mother in law, brother in law and his fiancée. Above is her cheesecake. She somehow was able to locate cranberries. I tried three different supermarkets with no luck, so couldn't make any cranberry sauce. But I made turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes and a green salad, and an apple pie to give good company to this beautiful cheesecake. Of course the pie had to be served with vanilla ice-cream. I looked for american recipes for everything, to try to be as authentic as possible. I think the dinner was a success: we ate, drank (Italian wine, of course) and were happy together and little girl had a lot of fun with her grandma, aunt and uncle. She really likes to be in a crowd, the more the better. Sister in law and I already started making plans for next year: she promised to make corn bread and to locate some pecans for me, to make a pecan pie. I am happy I started this Thank
