A quick note wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving - yeah, I know,
it's only here in the US - so for all the folks around the globe, I
give my thanks for sharing you time and insights with everyone else.

Instead of firing the kiln, I've fired up the oven to cook the turkey
with orange rosemary butter - yum! Tomorrow I'll fix a southern
cornbread stuffing and brussel sprouts with a garlic cream sauce.
It'll be my better half, a 70 something friend, formally of the UK,
with her 90 something year old "mum". It's a riot with the two of
them together - guess I better go get the tea brewing.

Bill, in Fredericksburg, Va., where it just started getting cold a
couple of days ago.

Better have a large package of frozen peas. Those Brits just love those green peas. And not canned. If you really want to make an impression, custard will bring a smile to her face, too I bet. My husband is English and he has to have his peas for Thanksgiving.

British peas aren't really peas unless they are out of a can or dried
and then reconstituted. When I lived there, they were called "processed
peas" and they were truly nasty. Not sure what the "process" was, but
it succeeded in removing any and all good qualities of peas. I wondered
if they were from Cornwall and made out of chalk? Often they were even
artificially coloured. Yuck.
