Here's my menu with necessary ingredients, subject to change, of course. I've included links to recipes where available. I find it helpful to write it down so I can review it for a few days and figure out who is bringing what and see what I still need to shop for. We will be serving 10 adults and 6 or 7 kids. Thanksgiving is definitely a group effort around here--and that's certainly another thing for which I can be truly thankful!

Nice to learn early about the meal you are having. Unlike Christmas, there will probably just be the two of us unless we round up some stragglers somewhere. Hey- that's what you get when you are far away from your California family.
Here's our Cape Cod locally sourced menu:
*Carrot (sticks) from our garden
*Kale(chips) from our garden
*Heritage turkey from Miss Scarlett of Yarmouth Port with Barnstable or Dennis Oysters for stuffing
*Potatoes, butternut squash, Eastham turnip from our garden
*Parsnip from the Caleb House Garden, Chatham
*Broccoli from Crow Farm
*Cranberries from Annie's Bog in Dennis
*Lettuce from our garden
*Apple Pie - apples from Crow Farm, Sandwich
As you can see, we're all local - AND a wee bit heavy on the starchy veg. There will be leftovers.
Perhaps I'll try the kale and apple salad instead since I'll have both those ingredients...
We do have some California wine however!
Judy, your meal is impressively local, especially so far into the fall season. We wish we were there to celebrate with you...or that you were here. I can't wait to hear how your Miss Scarlett's turkey (and everything else) turns out. xx
