Well, where did the time go between Thanksgiving and now? I wanted to sit down and write about our wonderful Thanksgiving, but in all of the rush...that dream faded. We took the challenge of eating one dish local and got pretty close to all dishes local. I will give you a rundown of our local fare....
Turkey...35 pounder (we raised him)
Ham...from our pork that we purchased from JJJ Farms
potatoes...ours
stuffing...made from Luigi's bread cubes (the best ever)
gravy...made
brussel sprouts...a gift from Nikki
Rolls...made
green bean casserole....our canned beans
green salad
Sweet potatoes...I have never attempted to grow these, but I would like to try.
Apple Pie...Chelan apples
Pumpkin pie...our pumpkin
So, 8 out of 11 dishes came from here or a local source. Wow, it was amazing. I think our house guests thought we were a little compulsive and crazy as we shot down their attempts to sneak things onto the menu that were not local. But, a challenge is a challenge....and we DID IT!

THIRTY-FIVE POUNDS?!?? Did that turkey even fit in your oven??
We are thinking about raising some turkeys next year. Want to go in on slaughter equipment rental?
Still want the diatomaceous earth? Let me know.
