Spare time? These rolls are a piece of cake.
Farm Yeast Rolls
Without having to fuss over thawing the turkey we had extra time on our schedule today so Gladys popped these together this morning and went off Christmas shopping with Nancy while the yeast did its' work. They left me with instructions to watch the dough or something which I promptly forgot. When they returned, these tasty morsels went into the oven and 20 minutes

Forty Years, Today
I was 16 years old sitting in my 11th Grade English class, window row on the quad, at ANOKA Senior High School, 5th seat back just after lunch when MS Fuchs informed us that President Kennedy had been shot, killed in Dallas. Forty years have passed and I have come to understand that I am defined by that moment: the Vietnam War, My Lai, the Tet offensive, Kent State................9/11.

Twelfth Day of Thanksgiving...
On the twelfth of Thanksgiving my true love gave to me one veg casserole, two side dishes, three fine desserts...Okay, so it will never catch on but as I think about the days preceding Thanksgiving and all the anticipation of feasting and family and long rides through the snow to grandma's house I realize that tradition really is the heart of the holiday.

Nancy's mom's stove top scalloped potatoes
This recipe is the first one we've seen that comes out of a genuine desire not to cook and at the same time, really cooks. WW II made a stepchild of necessity and resulted in this quick stove top recipe for traditional scalloped potatoes that surely deserves a place in our 2003 Thanksgiving celebration dinner, thanks Therese (pronounced T'reze)

To those Who Serve
Veterans Day is a day to remember those who have served in the armed forces and to honor their sacrifice. The men, women and companion animals that bear the burden deserve our eternal gratitude.

Sweet potatoes are one of the best things you can do for yourself, they are packed with carotene (ProVitamin A) and just plain taste good as testified to in the previous recipe which matches the natural sweetness of "Sweet Potato" with a savory mix of mushrooms and spices. On the other hand, some of us like that same sweetness to be over the top, and so we give you that old standby Sweet Potatoes
Continuing the menu plan for this years Thanksgiving Day Diner we naturally want to include a variety of vegetable dishes designed to be both traditional and, of course, vegetarian but also completely satisfying to the non vegetarian guest at your table. This recipe uses traditional sweet potatoes but with a great crispy topping that will surprise and please everyone. Make extras, trust me this

Vegetarian Wine: The Hunt for Red October!
I said that we would get back to you with the result of our research into vegetarian and vegan wines, turns out there is little if any difference, if it's vegetarian it's vegan depending on your interpretation of vegetarian; if you're lacto-vegetarian some wines not vegan would still be okay if they have been fined (the process of clarifying the wine by filtering it) through albumin from egg

Vino for Vegans
Vino for Vegans
Do not forget the wine. As I am not a vintner, I will remind and attempt to find for ourselves and others a list of Vegan wines for this Thanksgiving celebration.
While we ponder the menu considerations for our upcoming Vegetarian Thanksgiving celebration it seemed like an appropriate time to acknowledge the main reason behind our choice to be vegetarian, the animals. Just as
