Thank you so much for sharing all your memories in the COG!<br /><br />The comments were really good too. I'll have to remember Cynthia's info about the Cheesecake Factory cheesecake at B&N... and I'm intrigued by Kristin's mention of sweet potato cheesecake... I'd love to try that!Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-19353408074937698052011-12-03T09:11:35.326-05:002011-12-03T09:11:35.326-05:00Enjoyed this post Carol..even though I'm a bit...Enjoyed this post Carol..even though I'm a bit late reading it. Every year my mother made a cranberry compote from fresh cranberries and oranges. She made a lot of it and gave it away in jars as gifts. Everyone loved it. And we had pumpkin cheesecake this year too. My daughter in law's mother made it. It had a wonderful praline icing encrusted with candied pecans. Sigh! My son brewed a pumpkin beer to die for, something he's done 3 years in a row now. Luckily we don't have to drink it in the basement. Come to think of it...we don't have basements in Florida!<br /><br />Enjoyed your Myles Standish post from the previous year too! Very exciting goodie to find and I would be doing the happy dance also! :-DLisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-46349972526679567272011-12-01T10:14:31.864-05:002011-12-01T10:14:31.864-05:00I too loved this post.

Unfortunately, I was the one elected to "chop" it up for a look of more authenticity???? Thanks for reminding me of some wonderful Thanksgivings with my own family. :):) Love the photographs as well and the fact that the chairs have been with your family for so long.<br /><br />Cheers to you Carol!<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-78700995035592163292011-11-30T22:43:38.402-05:002011-11-30T22:43:38.402-05:00Kathy, Karen, Barb, Cynthia and Kristin, thanks fo...Kathy, Karen, Barb, Cynthia and Kristin, thanks for dropping by and visiting.

If you get a hankerin' for some pumpkin cheesecake while you are on the road, Barnes & Noble has Cheesecake Factory pumpkin cheesecake this time of year.

We always have a traditional menu, but perhaps each year we should replace one traditional item with something "new."

Last year for the first time I made real cooked cranberries. They were great (and now I know the canned stuff doesn't measure up). I think all of us can identify with the "traditional" dinner.Kathy Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09417754385375586302noreply@blogger.com
