A good day to be thankful. Woke up to a light dusting of snow over the fields. Decided to make an oven pancake for breakfast and filled it w/ apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. (I've heard it's fashionable to put out pictures of what you eat so this is the pancake right out of the oven before I plated it.) That filled me up until after the dog show on TV. (Whip was better looking than all of them.) I remembered tales Mom would tell of her time working as a maid in Winnetka. She said they would take the serving bowl for the salad and first rub a clove of garlic all over the inside. Always wondered if that made any difference so I cut open a clove of garlic today and rubbed it over the inside of my salad plate first. A little surprising but it turned out the slight garlic smell and very subtle taste was a perfect background to a green salad.
