A Pie in the Making and a Happy Thanksgiving
We started our Thanksgiving dinner prep today by making the croutons for the stuffing, brining the turkey, making the cranberry sauce and rolling out the pie dough for the pumpkin pie. For me, the anticipation is the most exciting part of the whole thing. I love prep work and organizing every single step in my head.
We picked out some fresh flowers today called “wax flowers” for our table setting. We are using recycled spice jars as vases and placing them next to each person. I love little details.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Aran!

even if we don’t celebrate thanksgiving here in germany (for sure not, i know the history of this holiday ;-)) or just because of that, i’d love to participate once…
Although we don’t celebrate it in Portugal, I actually find Thanksgiving a very moving holiday. Have a great one with your family, Aran!
Las tartitas están espectaculares, supongo que lamreceta no la incluyes por ser un clásico, me he dado una vueltecita por los comienzos del blog…. recopilando ideas, cuántas cosas se me habían olvidado!!!
