We can Thank...President Lincoln... for this day....of Celebration...
What a Man....

The Kentucky Girl's Pumpkin Pies...are waiting.... to be adorned...with Whipped Cream..... They sure... look....Goooood!

Got The Turkey...all Dressed... and Seasoned... and put in the Roaster...a little after 8.... {I feel like the Jerry Reed character...in 'Smokey and the Bandit'...on Thanksgiving... "Running on Schedule"...  I was thinking...what is my most important tool... on Thanksgiving.... It's the Clock...Holy Smokes...Timing...Timing...Timing!!!!

I get the Giblets...simmering...when the Turkey goes in the Roaster.... I put all sorts of seasonings in {fresh...Rosemary...from home...and dried Sage and Thyme ...along with Garlic...Pepper...and...a Pinch...of Dried Dill Weed.. {Dill...always adds a 'hint'..of Late Summer... to Everything...I Like...That!}... and let 'er simmer...all morning..{I add Coarse Ground Sea Salt...at the end...to taste...} This is the base...for the Dressing... I use a separate kettle...to saute' Maple flavored Sausage...Apples..Walnuts...dried Cranberries....Mushrooms...Onions...Celery....in...Butter...then...add the bread...{that I cubed...last night...and mixed garlic powder with...} I like to use a boxed Stuffing mix...with it, as well... Then...I put it all in the stock....{I mince the Giblets...and neck meat....as well....} and...finish it out...in the stove...
It's...Amazing...
it...Truly...is... : )
