The Brocks hosted our Thanksgiving feast this year. Last year we were not able to eat together, so we each fixed our usual dishes and Laura ferried them from one house to another. That way each family had access to our usual dishes but no one had to prepare everything. How glad we were to be around the table together to give thanks and eat too much. Despite all we've been through, we found much to be thankful for.
Laura brought sweet potato casserole, prepared just like her Mimi (Clara Nelle) taught her, and Sister Shubert rolls which we all love. Amanda made her soon to be famous pecan pie. I roasted a turkey and made cornbread dressing (just like my mother taught me!). I also contributed whole berry cranberry sauce. Kathy made traditional bread stuffing (like her mother taught her!) and green beans. She had plain green beans and leather britches. The leather britches are made from a heritage variety of green bean that has been strung and dried, then reconstituted and cooked long and low. Wayne's sister Ingrid grew and dried the beans for him.
We were happy that Aiden was able to join us, but we missed Claire. She cam home from MTSU with a non-COVID respiratory virus and was sick for the whole holiday weekend.
We ate until we couldn't eat anymore and enjoyed our time together. As usual, I neglect pictures when I'm involved with friends and family.
