Yes, its definitely Christmas time, and that means family time. I'm excited to share a few more memories from Thanksgiving.
Just hours after our Thanksgiving breakfast in the park we gather again for appetizers and a shooting range. Again, these traditions go back for as long as I can remember. I believe the shooting range started as a way to keep the kids entertained with Mom made all the finishing preparations. Whatever the genesis, its become one of the favorite Thanksgiving traditions. My brothers take a lot of time to set up the shooting course using old toys, discarded cans, highly carbonated pop cans, and anything they think will be a good target. This year they bought a few extra bb guns so everyone had more opportunities to shoot.
My mom makes all the appetizers by hand. She has a great talent for mixing textures,
tastes and color. This year my favorite
was the phyillo dough cups with brei and mint pepper jelly. Other favorites: stuffed tomatoes, gingerbread cookies with pumpkin dip, seasoned almonds, a cheese ball in the shape of a pinecone, and her famous chicken phyillo dough (photo bomb credit: my crazy cousin Eric).
