3/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon pepper

3 Scatter onions over top.

My son and granddaughter decided we should go out so I wouldn't have to cook all day. So, we are having our Thanksgiving Wednesday night and I still have to cook Thursday as I have five elderly gentlemen my husband wants us to take dinner to ON Thanksgiving. So, at least we will have leftovers to munch on Friday, Sat & Sund. while I finish all of my gifts

We could be having ice/ sleet Thurs morning, kinda worried about the electricity...would like to make my pies tomorrow but afraid my crust might get soggy......me and pie dough r not friends...lol

Just took my squash pie out of oven. Use my own butternut squash which seems rather stringy this year. Pie looks good! Hubby made 2 apple pies this AM - cooked my turnip, squash and sweet potato. Tomorrow cook turkey and will reheat and plate on Thanksgiving. I make a strawberry, pineappple and banana jello mold with sour cream layered in the middle. Pretty and good. Will have 10 people including a new 'fellow' my daughter is bringing. And, of course, the Patriots -that's the football team not our NewEngland ancestors (lol) - in the background. Go Pats! Wishing all the very best - Happy Thanksgiving

I am making my dressings and a spice carrot cake. No pumpkin pie this year for us. I am looking forward to that hot open face turkey sandwich the day after.
Happy Thanksgiving All!

Today I chopped the celrey and onion and toasted and cut up the bread for the dressing. Tomorrow I'll make the dressing and bake my pies, so good to get a head start.
