No recipes - just planning for a visit from one of the Kitchen Bitches and her friend who will be here "Canadian Thanksgivingish". I would like a menu for carnivores and vegetarians and whoever else would like to have dinner with us, so I was thinking of:

A salad.

The salad would consist of greenish/reddish/herbish/onionish leafy things and some freshly-snipped herbs from our planters. Perhaps some freshly grated somethings. Smokey somethings. [input appreciated]

And some pumpkin seeds and some crispy-toasty cheese circles. And Wine. [input appreciated]

Then we would have

Some lovely pasta that would be made by me, Sara and Emily. My nieces. Frank will pour the wine. The pasta will be made with farm fresh eggs (or free-range eggs from the store ...) and a squash or pumpkin filling. Squash or pumpkin from the Farmers' Market ...perhaps some garlic .... sweet onion ... fresh sage ... And Wine ... and Cream.

Something cheesey - turkey-ish - parsley-sage-rosemary-time-Simon&Garfunkelish ....

Tomato bisque-ish ... dill ... And Wine.

Turkey breast (or a 20 LB turkey from a local farmer and too many left-overs) will be rolled around some sage, parsley ...

still planning. Caramelized onions ...

more planning ...
