Good morning! As I begin bringing together the foods I’ve foraged, prepared, preserved, cooked, and otherwise collected with people I love and love to feed, it seems fitting to take a deep breath and savor this last moment of quiet.
I am really grateful for my farmers and all the people who work for and with them to bring food out of the ground. I hope my menu today does your work justice. I am grateful for the people in my life, particularly those who remind me to be grateful. I give thanks to God (the Universe, Nature, or however you choose to call the Creator of all that is) for the many blessings in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. May your meal nourish and sustain you.
Hope you had a special day with your loved ones – we do have a lot to be thankful for. This year I’ve been so much more aware of *where* the food that nourishes me every day comes from and the effort that it takes to make that happen. It’s something I think that is harder to connect to when the growing process has been distanced from daily life, but its a connection we can still find if we all look for it. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
