Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
This Thanksgiving I felt like a real pilgrim. So very thankful for the bountiful harvest and the warm autumn season that has allowed me to continue harvesting for so long. Thankful for bell peppers that I had harvested a couple weeks ago to go along with the corn that I had frozen from summertime.
Thankful for root and tuber veggies. Some from my fall planting that actually produced enough to harvest.
Thankful for swiss chard still kicking it.
Oh and thankful for the free range turkey, even if it did come from California.
Thankful for the bounty of choices and big plates to put it on.
Thankful for my advisor, boss, and friend that made this pecan pie. Retail value = $50. Even more thankful for his wife that keeps him humble.
Such a great day spent with my family and friends. Always worth the effort and time in the kitchen for a great meal, even with frozen bread!
What exactly was in this $50 pie? Gold?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Ask Dave or the sources. http://www.zingermans.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=G-PEC
ReplyDeleteWow, and I felt guilty for buying a $15 apple cranberry deep dish pie. :)) It was sooo good. I need to stop by the bakery at HyVee and ask if they made it or who did. The crust was even wonderful. Probably loaded with fat. They had pulled the crust up over the top of the pie and ruffled it so it almost covered the top. Wish I'd taken a picture of it, it was really beautiful.
