Last Thanksgiving

I wanted to post about this last year because I found it really very interesting, but then with the hub-bub of the holidays I forgot until another Thanksgiving rolled around again.

A Minnesota Family hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 32 people and the only thing store-bought was the salt. On the menu:

Venison roast with wild mushrooms

Pork roast with garden herbs

Wild turkey breast

Squirrel booya

Sweet and sour red cabbage and beets

Roasted potatoes with herbs

Baked squash with homemade butter

Corn on the cob

Green beans

Tomatoes

Sautéed kale

Cornbread

Popovers

Serviceberry pie

Boxelder syrup flan with a hazelnut crust

Rhubarb

Rhubarb/serviceberry wine

Hard cider

Grape wine

The family that hosted the dinner didn't prepare everything, the guests (friends & family) pitched in many of the homegrown items for the meal. It took a ton of planning, but how cool is that?!
