As most know, yesterday was Thanksgiving here in the US. We had dinner at our daughter’s home, and everyone brought something to contribute to the meal. I baked pumpkin pies and made cranberry relish, and DH smoked a turkey \u2014 he’s a whiz at doing mouth-watering smoked turkey! Others brought salad, potatoes, more desserts, and other side dishes, so our daughter didn’t have to do everything herself.<\/div>\n

What we hadn’t known ahead of time was that our son-in-law’s mother was also bringing turkey (roasted) and that his niece’s boyfriend was bringing fried turkey! LOL! We all certainly had our pick of wonderful kinds of turkey! This is a photo of some of the meat from the three turkeys laid out for us to pick from. From the lower left and going clockwise: roast turkey, smoked turkey, fried turkey. <\/div>\n

I hope your Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it, was as nice as ours!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
