Thanksgiving Hits and Misses

When I was reading the Cooking Light blogs, they used to have posts about "Hits and Misses" or things that were really great and then the not-so-great. What were yours this year? We all live across the country, and it would be fun to hear what everyone else did this year.

Here are some of my "hits":
Apple Cider Brined Turkey
Savory Herb Turkey Gravy
Calico Cabbage Salad
Coconut Cream Pie
Pumpkin Pie from our own garden pumpkins:)
Cranberry Jello with orange zest, pineapple, and a cream cheese whipped topping mix

And some of the "misses":
Rhubarb Pie (it never set up)
Stuffing (my own concoction- too many apples)
Ginger Ale/Juice Mix - a little too strong for me


We had some friends over and she brought some corn that was flavored with chili powder, butter, mayo, and parmesan cheese- it was delicious and I will try to replicate that one!

I am excited to hear about everyone's experiences and post some pictures if you have them!

How 'bout changing the whole college paradigm?

Here's another; I haven't checked it out yet.

Here is a blog review of some of these educational changes:

New collaborative effort

Fantastic article! Think about how far our knowledge and technology can grow if we can truly have all the ideas and expertise work together on some of our world's problems.
