Japanese Maples Fall Color
'Skeeter's Broom' is the most colorful maple in our garden. I have just returned from a 2-week trip to Japan. This was my first ever trip outside the United States. It was an amazing experience and one I will never forget. Japan was wonderful - they really have their act together and I think the U.S. could learn a few things from them. There was one disappointment on the trip - the fall color had barely begun there and was really just beginning as we left. That is okay because the gardens were still spectacular, and I got a nice shot of fall color when I got back. 'Ryusen' I missed a few things - our ginkgo had just turned a glorious color the day before I left, and the leaves were gone by the time I got back. 'Sango-Kaku' I came home to many leaves on the ground but still a lot on the trees. 'Osakazuki', a beautiful red maple always changed color very late and therefore doesn't usually last long. When I left there was no color but a few remaini
Another yummy recipe. I hope you and Michael are enjoying turkey day. I too don't mind the dark dreary outside world when the inside world is full of love and fun. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you both! Thanks for the recipe. It sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteSMH, what is a good Southern boy like you doing putting that loaf bread in dressing? Just teasing of course, but oh my momma would have had a fit about that. Does your dressing get brown or do you stick it under the broiler for a couple of minutes?
ReplyDeleteHaha! It browns on its own. I might try it with just cornbread the next time. Michael said his mother used biscuits in hers? This recipe has come the closest to what my mother made.
DeleteNo biscuits, please. Give it a try with just cornbread. You may need to add a little broth along as it cooks or at least that is what Momma did so of course that is what I do.
