we give thanks...

from our family to yours, happy thanksgiving!

we got up this morning to strong winds and rain... blehhh... i was still aching from yesterday's yardwork... we had a late breakfast, as usual, then i prepped the cornish hens. i split them in half, rinsed them well, and patted dry. i placed each in cut foil and seasoned them with a mixture of seasalt, garlic powder, paprika and lemon&pepper seasoning. i wrapped each in the cut foil and refrigerated until it's time to cook them. they're now in the oven to be baked for 45 minutes or until browned. i'm basting every 15 minutes, and had just done the 2nd... the rice is also cooking right now, then i'll do the stuffing after the third basting. i hope the hens come out good... i did some tweaking on the recipe, which i always do so i'm not sure how it will be... hubby and R should keep their fingers crossed...

i'm goin'... enjoy your dinner, folks, and don't forget to give thanks...
