Setting the Thanksgiving Table
Setting the Thanksgiving Table 2024, an off-white tablecloth was first placed on the table. Since it was dusty, it was quickly washed and dried. We used our new Damask Jacquard Table Runner. It is made of 100% cotton and measures 16 x 108 inches. It is machine washable. The table runner is from the local Pottery Barn Outlet store originally priced at $79.95. I picked it up on sale for under $15.00. Ruby red Damask napkins compete each setting.
The centerpiece is a nature-inspired design complete with off white pumpkins, light green pumpkins, greenery, and some bright red berries. The red berries pick up the color of the table napkins.

Cooking the Thanksgiving Dinner
It was a busy two days, but I’m glad I did a bunch of the prep work yesterday.
I tried out a new technique today for removing the pomegranate seeds by cutting it into segments and hitting the back with a large wooden spoon.
OK, everything always works out on the internet, right? Anyway, I don’t think I’ll use that technique again because when I slapped the wooden spoon, pomegranate juice splash about. It landed on my kitchen curtains and walls. I quickly removed the white kitchen curtains and tossed them in the wash. Hopefully, that red juice will come out.
Yesterday, we made the homemade apple pie with a variety of apples. It turned out pretty good. However, I think I would prefer a tarter apple next time like the Granny Smiths. I never make butter pastry pie crust. No, don’t like it and always use vegetable oil. This time I used the store brand of canola oil, and the pie crust was flaky, great tasting and excellent.
