Due to a rash of family-wide busy-ness and travel, we are repeating our 2005 Thanksgiving menu (small modifications) this coming Thursday. Principal substitution is in the soup department, where we will enjoy "Harvest Soup" (with butternut squash, rutabagas, and carrots, among other fall veggies) in place of the Curried Pumpkin Soup here. We're also adding a requested second salad: Boston lettuce with peas and mint (really easy and delish).
If you'd like the recipes and/or the shopping list (which makes for an easy time at the grocery store), post a comment or send me an email: jessicadotlipnackatnetagedotcom.
