Gobble gobble


Breaking in the new dining table with Thanksgiving. We'll see if asses will stay seated with no cushions. I can't believe I now own cloth dinner napkins. Who is this person?


Multicultural puppies. One of each color.


OMG. The most delicious turkey in the entire world, in the entire history of mankind. Brined overnight with spices and roasted vegatable stock. Air dried for 8 hours in the refrigerator. Convection roasted for amazing turkey skin and succulent moist and flavorful meat. Absolutely the most delicious turkey I've ever had in my life. I'm still salivating.


Apple tarts. Hand sliced with love. Gala apples flanking the center strip of granny smith. Cranberry persimmon sauce, with persimmons from my tree. And turkey pan gravy that had more steps than the turkey itself. I was cursing the recipe the entire time. Until I tasted it, and then I realized it was worth the effort.


Pomegranate ginger cocktails. With pomegranates from my tree. I curse those pomegrantes. It took me three hours to juice those damn pomegranates. POM brand pomegranate juice at the grocery store only $5. Much better deal if you factor in my labor costs. Green beans with lemon and pine nuts. Chris's garlic mashed potatos, sausage stuffing, and candied sweet potatos. Yummy.

Not Pictured: Warm spiced pecans with rum glaze. Pomegranate lime sorbet. Orange sorbet. Spiced hot apple cider.


Mmmm.... triptophan... zzzzzzz....
