Hello! If you live in the USA, I want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving holiday. I know you're most likely busy right now but I wanted to pop in to remind you to save that turkey carcass (such an unattractive word!) and make turkey soup! Last year I wrote step by step posts to make no fail turkey soup. This post is where it begins!  We will be a small gathering this year but whether large or small, I always make a big turkey because we are a family who loves their turkey. The day after Thanksgiving I'll be listening to carols, decorating the house for Christmas, and making turkey stock. I actually look forward to the day after! 

I have cookie cutters for every occasion, but when Thanksgiving rolls around I'm very happy to pull out my fall themed cutters. When my husband bit the tail off a squirrel he said, "These are the best. I don't know how a cookie could be better." I imagine every cookie wishes they could taste as good as a sugar cookie. This is my favorite cut out sugar cookie recipe.

I haven't yet set my table for Thanksgiving but last weekend I had a small dinner party and I really like the simplicity of the table setting above and below and might just repeat it.

Happy Thanksgiving!
