We are on our way to have a family Thanksgiving at my in-laws. I did some cooking for the day however. (And I am in charge of the salad for dinner later, that will be the next post!) The Mental Health Crisis Center at our local hospital is open today. I sent food in for the staff. I did not want to infringe on their family turkey dinner so I decided on meatball sandwiches. They are easy to keep warm and can be made fresh as staff has time to eat. I did want a touch of the holiday with their meal. I made these soft, old fashioned pumpkin cookies. They are spicy and sweet.
So hats off to everyone there, and everywhere, that put in their working time on a holiday.
