Happy Turkey Day!


Good Turkey Morning to you! Well,the turkey is in at 325 degrees and stuffed with the above stuffing recipe, the mashed potatoes are boiling and the buffet table is set. Extra stuffing went into large muffin tins and baked ahead  for extra serving s off the luscious stuff. I used clear glass columnar vases filled with  dry white beans, layered with black bean with a sage green  tapered drippless candle. Looks cool, (took three minutes to do) tied it all with a black veil netting. The center piece on the main table has a  beveled glass mirror tile about 24X6 inches and I have layed a variety of pomogranets, grasses, a berry acorn nut garland, short square sage green candles, tons of nuts in the shell in piles, and a couple of limes.  This is one of those keep adding until it looks right things.  It took all of 15 minutes. We recommend you ALWAYS set your table the day before, it saves a ton of time.
Hot cider is bubbling away with mullings spices, smells devine! Pictures to follow soon. Several wines have been chosen at recommended wine pairing, but I say drink what you like!  Some just taste better with the food served on this day. We recommend:  Starling Castle Riesling, a white wine,  a Francis Coppola Pinot Noir, red wine, and a  Georges Dubceuf Beaujolais-Villages, a lovely blend red French wine. If you enjoy a sweet wine, try a Muscat wine wine. Enjoy your day and eat slowwwwww!
