Thanksgiving 🦃. So what’s all for dinner ? And easy pre-cooked Cajun Turkey dinners and more ready for pick up.

Thanksgiving is covered by one of our cousins, so the menu will be up to him. He tends to go for a large heritage breed turkey, and most of the traditional side (though, being of Scandinavian descent, we get lingonberry sauce instead of cranberry, which is fine with me.

Lingonberries I’ve just learned about these berries . Curious what they tast like. I’ve heard they taste similar to cranberries.

a tiny bit, but they tend to be a lot sweeter (at least, the kind you get in a jar from IKEA, which is what he uses, are) I can only say I like them and I DON'T like cranberries.

And I am very glad he does not also get cloudberries (a pale yellow raspberry species). For some reason, those make me feel off (at least, they did the one time I got them in jam form when I was a kid).

Should I ever travel far enough North (Scandinavia OR Canada) to try crowberries, I should like to. I have actually tried to grow these twice, once from some I found on a big cliff in Maine (interesting story) when I wasn't totally sure of what I had found (and those were tiny as well), and once from Etsy purchased seed. But I'm too far south for sucessful growth, and have not had much luck with growing things from the heath family anyway.

I talked to my daughter, they are staying home in Corpus Christi to work on their house. They will have 5 days off and hope to get a lot accomplished. They have been making improvements and remodeling, hard to do when both work. So my son and I will go to my sister’s and go out to eat for Thanksgiving.
