Happy Thanksgiving

Sister Connie texted me a pic of our grandmother's china set out for Thanksgiving dinner.  She said instead of keeping it in storage it would be better to use it.   The china is quite pretty and gives off a soft creamy glow. She noted that her granddaughters Callie and Sasha will be eating off their great-great-grandmother's dishes.  (I suddenly feel way older.)

My own Thanksgiving was filet mignon which is much easier to prepare than a turkey and includes no waste (much to Whip's dismay).  A quick browning on all sides in a fry pan and then popped into a covered dish in the oven to finish.  While that was cooking I made a bearnaise sauce.  Paired it all w/ a baked potato and peas.  Perfection (if I do say so myself.)
