I don't know about the rest of you, but Thanksgiving is next week. There are a lot of things to do between now and then, and one of them is to listen to Bob Edwards' Fantasy Thanksgiving on NPR. It's a tradition with us, except the year when they tried to modernize it with more "current" chefs. That was not good.
We'll be spending a part of our Thanksgiving Day here at the restaurant, putting together someone else's Turkey Dinner. But soon enough we will travel home to begin the season of eating, starting with a Colchester Farm Turkey and all the trimmings.
Each year about this time I share some of our food traditions, and there's no reason why this year should be any different, eh? So far we've been enjoying the Millican Pecans from Texas, mostly within the Pecan Pie we've been selling out of lately. A thirty pound box yields quite a few nuts! I am going to send them a picture of our Texas Pecan Pie, with the recipe, to demonstrate our appreciation of their product.
We look forward to the arrival of other seasonal goods - the Modjeskas, the Florida citrus, the annual trip to Whole Foods and the D'Artagnan order. One thing is for sure, we've got plenty of Champagne!

Yesterday Kevin drove 2 hours to Wagner's Meats in Mt.Airy for some of their pork products. He likes their country ham, which we used to be able to get through Springfield Farm, when they made an Eastern Shore run. The ham hocks and bacon ends might be worth the trip alone, but the ham is what possessed him to make the hike. Eggs Benedict are coming!
