Did any of you hear Coolio's take on it? He added some...different things to the relish. Funny!

I'm doing potluck at a friend's new place (her first time hosting Thanksgiving), so I'm bringing spinach gratin and string beans w/ shallots (I LOVE Ina Garten!). I called her this morning to see what she needed--she's making a ton of desserts and meat, so I am in charge of veggies. Munchkin's throwing down tonight!

So we had a Thanksgiving-style dinner at one of my sister's on Sunday - also a birthday celebration because she's going to be out of state on my bday (which is Friday). I actually had an appetite on Sunday and the food was scrumptious!

I'm now counting down til tomorrow's actual Thanksgiving at my other sister's house tomorrow. Hoping for another good appetite day because it would be such a waste otherwise!!! After the year of medical hell I have had, I am so thankful for everything in my life, and living another year past the statistical "median life expectancy" that the scientists have thrown out there.

Me too! She is the originator of my annual contribution to Thanksgiving - mashed turnips with crispy fried shallots!

She loves using shallots! I think I bought Whole Foods out of shallots this afternoon because of her recipes!

A few weeks ago, I made her shrimp bisque, and added some secret ingredients for a more Cajun flavor.
