Maryland Thanksgiving Day 4

This is an example of the wonderful stained glass that Michael creates.

Yesterday was another gorgeous day with a high temperature of 63. Michael and Marge prepared a thanksgiving meal for his daughter, Melina, her husband Joe and daughters Katie and Emily. They roasted turkey breasts that had been brined in apple cider and herbs and then cooked with a peach glaze. It was served with sausage stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, a roast vegatable casserole, and asparagus.

Joe, who is a burley outdoorsman and hunter, had helped his daughter Emily make a peanut butter pie that was very good. When asked what was in the filling Joe said peanut butter, powdered sugar, and a little vanilla, topped with a ganache of melted bittersweet chocolate and heavt sweet cream. Smile.

I contributed table linen, a floral centerpiece and fresh roses.
