Glad you liked it!  I certainly did.

We wound up staying home for Thanksgiving...Phillip's manager, yutz that 
he is, called a meeting yesterday at noon that was mandatory...in 
Reston.  That meant that we would have to leave for the NC coast 
(Wilmington) at about 1:30 from Reston...which is west of DC.  Between 
the weather and everything else, we decided to give it a miss.  We're 
cooking a turkey breast, cornbread dressing (recipe from the Purefoy 
Hotel in Talledega, AL...one I inherited from my mother), a green pea 
dish that we've not tried before from one of my favorite cookbooks, 
Virginia Hospitality, baked sweet potatoes and, from the Today show this 
morning, a new version of cranberry relish that includes Grand Marnier!!
