Are we getting hungry yet? As the days draw near, I'll be focusing on different components of the Thanksgiving dinner. Tune in again soon!
Photo note:
"Mmmmm!! Thanksgiving food is so colorful! Starting from the top, clockwise: scalloped corn, toasted almonds, green salad, sweet potato, stuffing, cranberry sauce, turkey, and green beans in the center. Mmmm!"

Thanksgiving Vignette 001
This is just too beautiful to pass up.
The creator / photographer tells us:
"Ironically, during the most intense diet of my life (in 2002) I decided to create this Thanksgiving vignette (1/12th scale), to display at our annual holiday dinner. I scoured eBay and all of the miniature shops and shows for just the right foods to include. I still put this vignette out every year. Here it is with it's cover on."
Early Thanksgiving Feast
Photo note:
"Kris and I decided to make an early Thanksgiving feast... we will be out of town for the real day, so why not create our own a little early?
We started cooking last night - good food takes a while to cook. It was well worth it!
Blog post + RECIPES here!"

Thanksgiving Food Plate - Dinner 2009
Well, with Halloween over, it's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving dinners, and all that goes with them.
One thing that intrigues me about this plate is the mushroom gravy. This sounds most excellent. And, I love the wonderful colors and textures this plate affords.
Photo note:
"This was my plate on thanksgiving we had a lot more different types of food but there was just too much to put it on the plate."
A very familiar story!
