Roasting Veggies

 I was in charge of all things vegetable for Thanksgiving.
I thought about all the normal sides that are made for thanksgiving and instead went off the grid and pulled out a book on roasting.
I love this methods of cooking vegetables. They all cook at 500 degrees in a short period of time. I find that most of the work is in the prep.
The broccoli and cauliflower get the same marinade, lemon, oil, salt, pepper and garlic.

The zucchinis get dill, lemon, oil, salt and pepper,            ( these turned out amazingly good).

The carrots, butter, lemon, orange juice, honey and ginger.

I love these because they can sit and be served at room temperature.
They were so good with the rest of the meal, even better the next day.

   I'll try to get you the details later.

Time to dash off.
Later!

It was the night before Thanskgiving

It was the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The Turkeys were trussed up and waiting to be baked.
While visions of sweet potatoes, green beans and dressing run through our heads.....

Happy almost Thanksgiving you USA readers.
Can you believe how quickly this year has  flown past us?
About as quickly as those turkeys will be eaten tomorrow.
Mark and I plan to go against the grain and forgo the Turkey.
It will be a quiet celebration here and a Turkey for two is too much.
Besides I am not a big fan of the bird.
I enjoy a sandwich the day after but to face all that meat at one shot is just too much.
So bring me some leftovers- but past day one don't bother.
I have been working on all the corners the last few days.
I am listing pots in the Esty shop, cleaning the gallery and putting away all the stuff it takes to do a show.

It has been awhile since I posted anything in the shop and I am still not sure of all the things I need to do.
But I am slowing getting things listed.
Mark has been off the past bit helping a friend get his house ready.
It has been a nice break for him to step away from pots and do some carpentry.
In fact when he is done there I think I have some things here he could practice on.

I hope you all have a happy day tomorrow and spend some of it with Family and friends.
we don't get our kids on Thanksgiving they will go spend time with their in-laws.
But over the weekend we will get to see our Daughter, Grand baby and a friend.
The Grand baby is now 6 months old- should be fun.

Here she is taking a nap!
