Thanksgiving....best meal of the year!




Greetings from the British Connection!




Ladies and Gentlemen, get your tastebuds ready for the best meal of the year- Thanksgiving! As you know, they do not celebrate Thanksgiving in the United Kingdom or Ireland, the Thanksgiving meal is one of the perks for Dave as an ex-pat, he LOVES his roast dinners!




One of my favorite things in the world is roast Parsnips. I first discovered them when I was living in England, and had them as part of a Christmas Roast. They were so yummy! Crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside with a nutty sweetness... But, alas, parsnips like this were unatainable here. We tried for years to make them, but they always came out burnt to a crisp, or too hard inside! Finally, about a year ago, we were able to obtain Aunt Bessie's Roast Parsnips imported from England. Just like I remember...and soooo easy, just pop them in with your Roast and you are good to go. Also available now; Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings and Aunt Bessie's Roast Potatoes.
More Thanksgiving ideas to come....
