Thanksgiving is early this year and nearly upon us. We've been busy gathering things for the table, cleaning house, and making lists. Tomorrow I will venture out to shop for some last minute items. It's been raining for days on end here. The wind is whipping up and bringing all the leaves down. I feel like a captive watching from the kitchen window as lawn chairs go sailing past. And other four-legged visitors!
I started watching these cooking videos from Jas. Townsend & Son about six months ago and love them. These fine folks have been producing this awesome video series for a few years and this is the first one of the 3rd season, featuring a standing paste pie crust made from an 18th century recipe, authentically prepared and baked. Watch and be amazed!
And my favorite for making gingerbread.
The series can also be found on YouTube HERE. Enjoy!
Well, that's all I've got time for friends. Wishing each and every one of you a most wonderful Thanksgiving!
And a very Happy Thanksgiving to you. Now, I'm off to watch that pie crust video. Mine are dismal failures.

Oh yay! I'm brewing a pot of tea and I'll be right back!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, too, Vicki. Many blessings...

Thanks for the heads up on the vids. I have ordered lots from their catalog and never knew they did these. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I hope your Thanksgiving was a happy one, and that all is warm and cozy within. Yesterday was cold, but it stayed dry for those traveling. It has been raining all day today though.
The deer are always so beautiful. Thank you for sharing them here. I know they are hard on the garden at times, but the grace and beauty they lend makes my heart happy.
