Cabbages in Disguise

We have traditions. For our Thanksgiving Dinner we must have turkey and bread stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry chutney and blue hubbard squash, red cabbage and "Cabbages in Disguise".







The table is set with the finest antique lace and the "good silver". The crystal chandelier gets a new face.






And the sideboard gets a little more attention

And then there is apple pie with whipping cream laced with kirschwasser for dessert

  2. Hi Francesca,
    And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Italy?

    We have a friend who hates Brussels Sprouts, so he calls them "cabbages in disguise". We harvest them after we have had several frosts. . . makes them sweet and delicious.

    I think that if I had strung the lemons, oranges and limes on a clear fishing line instead of ribbons, it would have looked better. Next time.
