The pickled beets are definitely worth the time and effort. We just finished our Thanksgiving dinner and it was great. Heres our traditional Easter dinner. We flip our turkey over the last half an hour of baking to brown the bottom and stop the breasts from getting too dried out.
Technically Canadian Thanksgiving isn’t until tomorrow but we usually have ours on the Sunday AND Monday. That way we get to stuff our faces twice instead of once. lolBeautiful plate. I was surprised to hear you are celebrating Easter now. I realize our Australian friends have inverted seasons to our Northern ones. But I don’t think of Christian based holidays as varying nationally. I know, I’m a shut-in.
In the warmer months I’ll sometimes go to the fridge and eat a slice of beetroot.
If your anything like me you will love the pickled beetroot recipe I posted a link for @MarkD its got just the right “tang” to eat with hot meats ….or even in a slice of freshly buttered toast ….maybe duck over @PeppermintPatty
and borrow a loaf of her freshly made bread ….and have the sliced / pickled beetroot on the toast.
Bottling your own beetroot is FAR better than store bought beetroot but I still liked the store bought. This is my first time trying the homemade pickled beetroot. I should have worn a BIB while test tasting cause I missed my mouth ( not quite sure how ) and ended up with beetroot on my blouse.
I took my top off right away and soaked the stained part with vinegar and it all came out. Yayy. Vinegar.
Thanks for answering all my questions via pm. I will scoop your beetroot recipe. I like the idea of beetroot on toast.If your anything like me you will love the pickled beetroot recipe I posted a link for @MarkD its got just the right “tang” to eat with hot meats ….or even in a slice of freshly buttered toast ….maybe duck over @PeppermintPatty
My youngest brother is 18 years younger than me …when he was little he used to call it Beep Bop

You’re about as much of a shut in as I am.
As far as I know Australia, Canada, United States and the United Kingdom ALL have different dates for celebrating Thanksgiving.
Oops! I said Easter dinner. I meant Thanksgiving. Sorry about that. It took me hours to see my mistake. Thanks for pointing that out ; in a round about way.
Ok! Make sure to ring the doorbell plenty of times cause I’m ready to go to bed now.Remember I’m coming for tea ..tonite ..

My 13yr old boy dog took me exploring this afternoon around the pond
I behaved and didn't jump on or yell at other folks who were out and about
So Mason may take me exploring another day WOooHOoo

I thought maybe you didn’t realize that our Canadian Thanksgiving was earlier than yours.I knew there'd be a logical answer but it eluded me. Belated Happy Thanksgiving! Two of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes are Brussel sprouts smothered in butter and horseradish and cranberry relish.
We did finally get off to another walk today. Went back to Fort Funston in San Francisco and this time Lia walked with her walker to the north on paved paths while Ember and I went South into Thornton State Park. Lia and I used to come that way a lot and the walk used to be much longer going as far South as Ember and I did today but along the beach and then heading back up along most of the route Ember and I took today. But today we kept higher than ever before and saw some different sights. It was pretty cool out with lots of low clouds and some fog which I like but they did darken my photos.
Our route started out just down from Highway 1 where I've seen coyotes before so I kept a sharp eye out for them, thankfully not needed.
The first one is taken at the start of the walk. I didn't take too many because I was feeling the intestinal pressure of impending diarrhea. I knew if I didn't make choice soon I wouldn't have any choice about what would happen. So I moved along pretty fast until I found a thicket of scrubby trees off from any trail. After the crises was handled, I took the next three from a higher point than Lia and I have ever been here.
This video was taken a little further down from the last two and the path you see at the bottom is the one the horses take.
The next two are taken from along the edge of the cliff just above the beach.
Finally here is a short stop action video I took of Lia coming up on the steep path up from the beach which Ember and I went down today.
Thanks for adding your photos of your adventurous walk. Mason looks like a fun character. He does have a great smile.My 13yr old boy dog took me exploring this afternoon around the pond

Great pics. That bench sure looks inviting to sit down and do nothing.
Thank you Dennis. It overlooks the ocean where you can watch the boats come in and out, which is exactly what I did for a while.Great pics. That bench sure looks inviting to sit down and do nothing.
he looks like he loves his “dad” taking him out on adventures
