kinda local thanksgiving (maybe got 80%)

so i went for the 100 mile local thanksgiving again this year. my mum really wanted a traditional big thanksgiving so i had some resistance to the local thing. with that and a death in the family (memorial the day before thanksgiving) and a birth this past week (the day i was to go out to the royal oak farmers market) i think we did ok.

so here it is:

15 pound turkey - local
stuffing
butter- local
bread- local
onions- local
celery- not local
seasoning- not local
mashed potatoes
pots- not local
milk- local
butter- local
cream cheese- local
sour cream- not local
shrimp dip
shrimp- not local
worcestershire sauce- not local
dried onions- not local
cream cheese- local
corn chips- local and not local (for the curmudgeons)
cheese and grape appetizer- not local (so unfortunate mum bought the stuff)
green beans- local
donns corn dish- a little local (butter & jiffy cornbread mix ;)
pumpkin bread- not local (except sugar)(didnt have time to bake pumpkin and someone only trusted canned pumpkin)
pumpkin pies- not local but homemade (again with the pumpkin)
whipped cream- local
half and half- local
coffee- not local
rolls- local
wine- local
beer- local

so all being said i think we did a smash up job and the turkey is absolutely lovely! guests are here.

happy turkey day!
