November is here, and her chilled breath already
waits outside our door. November in Minnesota sometimes brings shoveling from
early snows, bulky coats and boots, and temporary goodbyes to bicycles and full
blooming gardens. But November also brings families together as they huddle
around the Thanksgiving table and swap holiday gift ideas for the coming month.
Old recipes are pulled out, phones are ringing, and plans are made. I'll take
the snow any day when it also brings such warm gatherings.
November also offers an added bonus –– the smile it
puts on my husband's face because he's surrounded by snacks and food and
grandchildren.
What does November mean to you? Do you have a
favorite recipe you'd like to share that finds your table every November? Send
it to me and I'll post it with your name on my blog.
Happy days to all of you!
