It's almost Thanksgiving!

It's Thanksgiving week, and today I'm going to start cooking. First, I'm going shopping. Then I'll salt the turkey and brine it in the downstairs fridge until Thursday. I'll make cranberry sauce too today, and that will be enough. At least I'll have those two tasks out of the way.

We're having 8 for dinner on Thursday - both family and friends and friends of family. It will be fun! If you'd like to take a look at recipes for some of the side dishes I'll be serving, click here. That'll connect you to my cooking blog Two for Dinner, where you'll find recipes for Cauliflower Sformato, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce, Kale Salad, Wilted Spinach Salad, and Bread Stuffing.

Of course there are many other recipes on my cooking blog that don't have anything to do with Thanksgiving. You might like some of them, and we give thanks for all good food, don't we?!

Have a wonderful holiday! I hope you're as lucky as I am, and get to spend it with family and friends. I'm thankful for them, and for your friendship, and for our lives of bounty and plenty.
