Mine was an odd choice in some ways for Thanksgiving, some might say... but I'm thankful for all the bounty to be found in the bay area... most of the menu items were bought at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market last Saturday... Cooked a goat "rolled fillet", with braised brussel sprouts (with OMG good pancetta) and mushrooms tossed in the goat pan jus with balsamic & buttah... yummy! Sounds like a great meal!

My father plows an acre and plants quite a bit of it himself, giving his neighbors the opportunity to plant what they want on the rest. One of my cousins has a pear tree that is incredibly productive, my daughter's father-in-law keeps us all supplied with pomegranates and persimmons, several relatives have pecan trees and we grow enough peppers in our city yard for the family. They are beautiful landscaping plants too. And don't even get me started on homegrown tomatoes! <abbr><em>Donna B.’s last blog post..<a href="http://opiningonline.com/2008/11/25/an-addition-to-the-blogroll/" rel="nofollow">An Addition To The Blogroll</a></abbr></em> We don’t go about the green thing the way others do, mainly because, through family, we have always had access to and appreciated home grown items.

Thankfully, they don't want us to bring anything except for wine. (I'm not that great with coking traditional foods). So we're bringing a couple of bottles of wine and planning on enjoying the company. Happy Thanksgiving! We are having Thanksgiving dinner with friends.

I volunteer with Eat Well Guide, a free online directory for local and sustainable foods, and I wanted to let you know about our Thanksgiving Local and Organic Challenge. Eat Well has teamed up with the Consumers Union, nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports, to issue this Thanksgiving Challenge. We’re inviting people to take a spin on the Eat Well Guide to find local food and cook at least one local (preferably organic) dish for Thanksgiving, and share recipes at the CU site. Since your meal is already going to be entirely organic and local, perhaps you can share some of your recipes! I'm sure they'd be a hit.
