Two Grandmas doing the dishes (I think this is right before we totally clogged the sink and it was Nate to the rescue with the plunger!)
Little Miss Jaylin has her first Thanksgiving at Grammy's house. She wore purple just like her pretty mommy did and got lots and lots and lots of hugs and kisses. She is talking so cute and smiling so big. Jaylin we are so THANKFUL for you ....!I've posted a bit more about our multi-cultural Thanksgiving on Marley, but wanted to share my favorite dish of the day here. This is a blue hubbard squash that I fell in love with at the farmers market. A few days before the feast I carefully carved it in half, seeded it and added local ingredients including corn I'd frozen in season and cheese and herbs produced by my Maryland farmer friends (I don't think they know how fond of them I am ....) then I baked the filling inside the other half of the squash (which was good because i was fresh out of baking dishes!) ...... I thought it was both delicious and beautiful, but knew my kids had reached their limit of my self adoration when they interrupted my story of the finding the squash and making up the recipe with a "You told us that mother ..." Don't worry kids, it's not dementia, I just really really really liked the squash!
Jaqui is AMAZED that Nate and Clay can't take a single picture without hamming it up.

It is a beautiful dish and it looks delicious! It is a good thing that you posted it on the blog too because one day Joe may want to cook it when he is gardener, owner, head chef, and customer entertainer with his tall tales at his restaurant.
Looks really good!! We can't wiat to meet little Jaylin. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner in Maine with mom doing most of the cooking. None of us wanted to miss any of the sights we waited until dark (4:30) to have dinner and then mom and Kris let me watch football (too bad about Arizona State)
You and Jaylin look so beautiful together!
You should read the book "Omnivore's Dilemna"-the author believes in eating locally. He also believes you should hunt and kill your own meat once in your life-Matthew would love anyone to accompany him! Your meal/family-beautiful!
I should read that book ... I really enjoyed the one I read over the summer. Right now I'm reading Thunderstruck by Eric Larson - very intriguing.
What are you reading?
