The Day Of...

Went to Smithville early on, not the touristy one in Atlantic County, but in Burlington. I had never been here before and was intrigued; I hope to take the tour sometime. If I'm not mistaken, it was some kind of foundry. A number of interesting old buildings remain, plus employees' homes and a lovely old mansion and garden.  

A wonderful Thanksgiving dinner served at 3:00 with the turkey about the most tender and flavorful I ever had. Brussel sprouts, butternut squash, corn casserole, cranberry relish, white and sweet potatoes, and especially stuffing, just delicious. Pies included pumpkin, pecan, and berry, plus a big tub of fresh (and of course, whipped real heavy cream--only savages would serve the bought kind on Thanksgiving). Appetizers were served before and coffee after, as well as a choice of (soft) cider, flavored Selzer water, Coke, beer, and red and white wine. 

Anyway, yummy,  yummy, and much fun!  😄
