Happy Thanksgiving Oklahoma!

The economy may be struggling these days, but our Oklahoma food diet is improving. Since joining the Oklahoma Food Coop, we have discovered some great new home state delicacies. I hope your family is as blessed as mine has been this holiday season.

The family farm raised pork we bought this year is the best I have had in a decade and it was raised about 20 minutes from my home. This month's Oklahoma Food Coop order included: fresh duck eggs, apple mini muffins, COW cookies and a window planter full of a wonderful variety of lettuces that are so fresh they are still growing! This year's crop of Oklahoma native pecans are becoming available, if the squirrels in your area haven't carried them all away.

Also our local football heroes routed a Texas team on Saturday, so Oklahoma is tasting pretty sweet to me this Sunday! I'm looking forward to a slow roasted butterflied turkey surrounded by sausage dressing and a moat of giblet gravy this Thursday, economic crisis be damned... so pass the cranberry salsa! We have much to be thankful for this year.
