a while ago my grandson took a few of my knives to sharpen for me…
they were from the WearEver collection that had belonged to my parents…
recently he dropped them back off… he had sharpened them and cleaned and oiled the one with a wooden handle…
today, I finally used a couple of them…
they were so sharp and cut beautifully… reminded me how good sharp knives are, lol…

cooked a very large turkey for our Thanksgiving supper… worked out well, as it meant there were lots of leftovers to have… the kids even brought containers to put them into, lol…
I roasted the turkey in my parents’ WearEver roaster which hasn’t been used for many years as we haven’t had a large bird…
it brought back many wonderful memories of meals with my family…
after dinner I started soup in the roaster because there were so many bones, lol…
finished it up with vegetables, barley, and more turkey… got the soup into containers and they are in the fridge ready for the kids to pick up… they enjoy homemade soup;-)…
since then I’ve had many meals from that dinner, including turkey and dumplings with my mom’s dumpling recipe;-)…

cooked the turkey in my mom and dad’s WearEver roasting pan…
it must be fifty years old because they had it when I was a kid… looked it up online and noticed that it was called vintage, lol… I can still see my dad lifting it out of the oven with whatever delectable food was inside it…
that, along with their WearEver knife set, which hangs in the kitchen, and never get used, were treasured family possessions…
haven’t used the pan for a few years as the turkeys have been small and have fit nicely in my enamel roaster…
this turkey was a bit bigger so needed the larger container…
it does produce the most beautiful gravy… a lovely rich brown colour, even though there aren’t lots of bits stuck to the bottom of the pan… also makes the best nuts and bolts…
George had written our last name on the side for when we took it elsewhere doing catering… it was lovely to see his handwriting…
made me think of all the dinners we have cooked during our life together…
wonderful memories…
