Your Thanksgiving Dinner

[Jaebius]

Hard boiled eggs, too.

And my Mom used to put salt on her tomatoes. I always found that a little strange, but she was the one eating it. I've even heard of people putting salt on watermelon. That one I don't get at all, but, then, I've never actually tried it. I tend to prefer sweet to salty

Some people put salt on apples and cantaloupes.

My Dad always put salt on an apple that was fresh. Loved it.

It was my dad's thing, too.

In our house he salted the cantaloupe but I used sugar. Mom kicked the sweetness up a notch and used vanilla ice cream.

I used to put salt on a lot more than I do now, since cutting back it amazes me how it jumps out and overwhelms me. I tend to use more pepper and other herbs now.

Me too. I have really learned more about spicing but using different websites that I trust for cooking, and trialing new food.


I wonder, did anyone try a new dish at Thanksgiving this year? How was it?

I tried coleslaw with a different dressing. Not a success! Good thing I gave it a trial ahead of time. For the feast I went back to my tried and true creamy version.

I had a ham recipe that I really liked that I had used a few times.
This time, I couldn't find that recipe, and tried a similair but different one.
It was NOT as good. ugh. I also messed up with the timing, partially do the recipe instructions. I should have known though.

Reminds me, I have to refind that recipe.
It had cumin, paprika, and other spices, plus, it had quite detailed timing instructions, including flipping it over for a while. Dang, though, it was good.

I have not had ham in a long time. We eat a lot of pork but it's mostly cut up pork loin in stir fries and similar or pork side ribs. Occasionally pork chops on the BBQ.
