The first image on my mind’s screen is the holiday meals that Grandma used to make.
Thanksgiving Dinner was a blend of classic American and Italian dishes,

Antipasto (cold)
Chickarina Soup with Tiny Meatballs
Lasagne
Meatballs, Brasciole & Sausage with Gravy aka Spaghetti Sauce
Capon with Sausage & Mushroom Stuffing
Capon is a castrated rooster whichs grows big as a T-bird. If you want a really good one head to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, where they are affectionately known as Italian turkeys,
Roasted Yams
Baked Ham with Pineapple Rings & Maraschino Cherries
Roast Beef
She used to make sure I got a rare slice, and my brother a very well-done slice.
“One eats it raw. The other eats shoe leather,” she would say every year.
Dessert was pumpkin pie. I can still her accent sayig pumpamakinn pie.
Oh and how could I forget the fruit cup?
Grandma would buy a fancy canned fruit cocktail ad serve it in little cups. She saw it at a party once and thought it was classy.
Perhaps it was the dinner where she stole the Chicarina Soup recipe. But that will be for another Scribble.

Welcome to the return of blogforth, My last post was on April 30th my daughter’s 25th birthday. It was the final post for April NaBloPoMo; the theme was letters.

During the first twenty days of that month I reintroduced a character I had created for NaNoWriMo. Her name is Bianca, she’s 17 and loves getting into heavy stuff. I decided to leave everything up in the air, and switch to more general posting during the last ten days.

After NaBloPoMo ended my creative energy kind of fizzled out. During May I worked on some of my other blogs.

Photostroll got a new template available here at WordPress.com called Monotone. It’s hot - try it. On The Go Blog went from Blogger to Typepad, and now it’s blogforth’s turn.

I went with a pre-made WordPress template for now. It has a full moon in header, and I love a full moon. They are very lucky for me.

This past week I discovered that I could blog by mobile device via http://m.wordpress.com. This is great help for me because I tend to get stuck in rewrite after rewrite when I creatively blog the conventional way.

Before I go I want to thank the people who checked in here on a regular basis to see if anything new was up. I’m looking forward to sharing with you, and everyone else who leaves their link.

Wishing you peace, love and lots of creativity.
