Turkey Butters
Turkey Butter by PDXFirefly
Many years ago, I obtained a mold to make butter pats in the shape of a turkey. It is one of those items that I only use once a year, but I use it every year and I would not want to be without it. Here is a picture of a turkey butter! Isn’t it festive?!! This year I made about 30 of these!
Happy Thanksgiving!
” We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” __Thomas Wilder
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of my readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. Even though some have seen savings almost disappear, and even though many have lost their jobs, even though some are ill, we all have “treasures” that no one can take from us. The Steadfastness of true Friends, and the Love of unchosen Family are only two that come to mind.
I am sure that you will be reminded of many things that you have to be thankful for this Holiday. I am thankful for the small group of readers that make their way to my blog and continue to return and I wish each of you a Blessed Thanksgiving Day and a fun weekend. Be conscious of your treasures!
I understand that the Portland Zoo will be opening it’s doors for free on Thanksgiving Day as a special thank you to the people of Portland for passing the Zoo levy tax. See you there!
Pistachio Pudding
This is a Midwestern Family Holiday Favorite which I made for each holiday for over 15 years.
1 package of instant pistachio pudding mix
8 oz of cool whip
1 can of mandarin oranges
1 can of crushed pineapple
8 oz mini marshmallows
Drain the oranges & pineapple reserving the syrup.
Add half of the drained syrup to the dry pistachio pudding mix; whisk together well. Add more syrup if needed up to 1 1/2 cups. Fold in the cool whip. Fold in the oranges, pineapple and marshmallows. Refrigerate for several hours (overnight is best). This is very pretty served in a glass or crystal bowl.
