[…] Gratitude: We kicked the month off, appropriately, with a piece by Kurt Michael Friese on gratitude. And I know more than a few people who are thankful for his Mom’s Wild Rice Dressing recipe that he shared. […]

I’ll have you know, Steph, that rice you sent me is earmarked for the Thanksgiving table . . . it looks great!

Oh my goodness Kurt . . I recently sent Lia a box of our local wild rice and now you are telling me it isn’t the best? Sorry about that Lia (jk). I’ve never heard of your “real” wild rice but I’ll certainly order some today and see. My husband was involved in growing wild rice here in the Fall River Valley for a couple of years. That recipe looks wonderful and will be on our table this year too. And garlic? What a treat folks miss when they abhor garlic! We grow that here too. I wonder though . . . . are you going to tell me it isn’t real garlic?

I am truly grateful for family and for wild rice and for my endlessly creative and courageous brother Kurt. Off to order some REAL wild rice now.

You can find the rice at http://nativeharvest.com/

And why would anyone abhor garlic? I’d sooner open a vein than go without garlic….

This dish will grace our fine table thanks to your mom. Should I google White Earth Land Rec. Project to find this rice? Love your words of wisdom as always and since Thanksgiving seems to be one of those holidays that hasn’t lost it’s meaning we too, will be sharing our blessings before chowing down in style. Decided to go Italian this year for a change. Cancellations accepted from those who abhor garlic.

Well aren’t you sweet. It is a truly delicious dish and, along with my mother’s Bourbon pound cake, the essence of the holidays.

I first learned about the Manoomin through the Slow Food Presidia project to protect and revive it, then learned more when I visited Winona LaDuke and the people who run the White Earth Land Recovery Project in the Ojibwe nation while researching it for my book.
