Thanksgiving Dinner


I hope everyone who celebrates is having a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We are happy to be together with our family in Fairfax, Virginia.

Cooking, Carving, Serving

Basting the two ducks with soy sauce.
Evelyn chose the famous New York Times simple duck recipe.

Making stock to use in the gravy.

Ducks in the oven.


My home-made cranberry sauce jelled in a cylinder!

Duck, dressing, cranberries, red-wine flavored gravy, roasted root vegetables,
Brussels sprouts, squash bread. 




Dessert is the Alsatian Apple Tart that I described earlier today. Blog post and all photos © 2021 mae sander.

    Happy belated Thanksgiving. My friend is making a duck tomorrow to a meal where I'm invited. I've had it, but I'm not fond of dark meat, so it's not my thing. Hope you enjoyed your meal. It all looks wonderful, especially all the veggies.

    Lovely meal, always the best flavor comes from having those you love around the table.

    I have trouble commenting on her blog as well. Possibly something to do with cookies? At any rate, you see, tp have had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did as well. My grandson bought a smoked turkey, and a nephew smoked lamb.

    Yum! Everything looks delicious and beautifully presented. We had a small gathering for Thanksgiving, but more than last year when we had no one come!
