Creative Interpretations - Giving Thanks

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought this photo might be appropriate.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my RetouchPRO friends.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Giving Thanks

The photo has almost a Rockwellesque vibe. Great though and rendering Steve. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Nice Holiday Picture

Boy-O-Boy time sure is passing by fast. Next years Halloween costumes will be in the store soon. Already have next years candy because we only had 14 kids this year and bought like there was going to be hoards.

Back to Thanksgiving....

a chalkish effect after a xero filter ; a soft watercolor and finally Rockwell meets Neiman

Regards

Bob

Yes; an illustration is what this one calls for.

Yes, it had Rockwell written all over it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too Swampy. And don't forget the swamp cabbage salad!

Heee... deep fried turkey, sweet potatoes, dressing, pole beans, mashed potatoes, gravy and swamp cabbage salad. Sounds like a plan to me! :-)

Re: Creative Interpretations - Giving Thanks

Oh that is nice, Palms! Soft and textured, just the way I like 'em.

Well, the menu is southern, but the "Yankee" equivalents would be: Pole Beans=Green Beans, cooked in the southern tradition with fatback (or bacon) and a little onion. Swamp Cabbage=Heart of Palm (that you pay dearly for in fine restaurants) which can be cooked (again with fatback or bacon) or prepared as a coleslaw or with vinegar.

Sweet Potatoes are often prepared "en casserole" almost like a pumpkin pie filling or just baked and served with butter. Most folks in the south make the casserole with oranges or pineapple, pie spices and marshmellows. Mmmm goood. I guess it could surplant pudding. LOL

We make the sweet potatos in a casserole and top with chopped pecans or walnuts. Very much like sweet potato pie but in a casserole dish. Also depending on size, about 6 mins. on high in a microwave, turning them once, bakes them quite nicely. Then peel, cut or mash, and add butter or margarine.

As for the swamp cabbage Swampy, you must have tried it with sherbert. You make the salad and top it with a dollop of sherbert. Lime flavor, or lemon is good.

Then there is fried or smoked mullet and grits....but that's another story for another day.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Giving Thanks

Never tried the sherbert thing, Steve. Thanks for the tip.

Ohhh... cheese grits!! Mmmmm. (Ever see the price on a bag of grits in the souvenir shops at the Atlanta airport? $12-$14 a pound!!! LOL)

I love smoked mullet. Do you remember when mullet was trash or bait fish? LOL
