Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving was at my sister Maggie and her husband Mike's house in Parma, OH!  We had turkey and gravy, mashed potatoes (which I made), green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, corn, and bread!  The appetizers were mozzarella sticks, soft pretzels, spinach dip with miniature Club(?) crackers, rice and beans (new to me), and mini cherry pies.  The desserts were pumpkin Pie, french apple pie, pecan pie (The last two from Baker's Square), chocolate-peanut butter fudge, pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting (Frosting was not applied to the cake itself!), and a family tradition consisting of marshmallows, Mandarin oranges, maraschino cherries, and coconut that my late Aunt Mickey (She died in 1975.)called Heavenly Hash!  I did not try everything, but what I did partake was enjoyable as usual!

The participants this year (besides the hosts) were my sister Kathleen, my brother Joe, my niece Mandy, and her husband Paul.  We enjoyed each other's company!!  Unlike past years, the Gift Exchange was not done!  It will be done tomorrow with my brother Bob as witness!

Thanksgiving was very nice!  Hopefully, Sunday Brunch with my sister Patty and her husband Dan, along with other family members will be just as nice!  The report is forthcoming!!
