As part of our 40th anniversary storytelling series, Mrs. Jordan tell the story of the family’s first Thanksgiving dinner party in the Jordan chateau dining room back in 1979. It was a day filled with community and chaos–definitely a Thanksgiving to remember–and we thought it would be fun to share a slice of our history few people know about. Mrs. Jordan’s cranberry sauce recipe is also included below.
We hope you have a safe, happy and drama-free Thanksgiving dinner.
