Saturday Morning Holiday Brunch
Ham, Mushroom and Red Bell Pepper Quiche
Fruit and Muffins
The Women's Organization at our church served brunch on Saturday morning and instructed us in the making of numerous Holiday Arts and Crafts....everything from beautiful wreaths, to decorated and painted pumpkins for Halloween. There was also a turkey stuffing demonstration. They stuffed the cavity of a turkey with onions, lemons, and rosemary stems. Then they lifting the skin from the breast and stuffed that space with truffle butter.....sounds delicious. We will be in Arizona for Thanksgiving. Perhaps I will convince Jennifer to let me try this turkey technique.
I wasn't really interested in making crafts for my home, but it was fun to listen to and watch these young women talking about their lives and the things they were doing, on very little money, to make their house a home. I will relay many of these ideas on to my daughters and daughter-in-laws.
