Celebrate Thanksgiving

Although I don't eat turkey, or any other meat, I love this vintage postcard from my special friend Julie, the amazing Celtic Woman ~ be sure to visit her beautiful blog.........................however I will definitely eat pie!!
Julie has just surprised me with a lovely Thanksgiving parcel full of sweet, and quite unexpected presents. Thanks again dear friend Julie.
This fabulous, healthy, and again easy, soup recipe (although not from the Cranks cook book) is not for lunch today because we gobbled it up for supper last night instead! I followed the recipe other than using vegetarian broth and just one teaspoon of curry powder. Recipe should enlarge when you click on it. Oh, don't forget to use your stick blender - much easier cleanup with that little gem.
This one's for Manuela at the Feathered Nest another great gal who has been a friend since starting my blog - thanks Manuela for always being there!

Sending happy Thanksgiving thoughts to all of you. Every one of you is special, each of you always welcome when you stop by ~ I love hearing from you. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with so many wonderful friends, but know I think of each one of you very often, and am thankful for your friendship.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner no matter where you are, or whom you may celebrate with. I'm off to the Blue Ridge Mountains, staying in beautiful Asheville NC for a few days.

  3. Oops, next time I'll send you a card that doesn't feature a turkey - either live or cooked!

  4. LOL! I have never known what to call my 'staafmixer' and it is just too simple. A stick blender! How much sense does that make??? Now I know when I do a recipe what to tell people I use.

    I hope you have a wonderful time away in the Blue Ridge Mountains. How perfect does that sound for Thanksgiving! We will have a quiet time here with just the two of us as with all holidays. Only this holiday is not celebrated by others like Christmas.
    What kind of things do you typically eat for Thanksgiving?

    Have a blessed day!

    off with just you and your husband.
    As I have said, we will have a house full and I am thankful my Grandchildren and Son's will be here. I only wish Heidi and Jos could be here too.

  7. Happy Thanksgiving to you! I'm a fellow vegetarian and love all the Cranks recipes. I use to love visiting their old restaurant in London when I lived there. I've had fun looking at your photos from your Devon trip. When my daughter was younger we spent lots of summers at Stoke Fleming and Blackpool Sands, lovely, fond memories. Enjoy your trip
