Feast!!!

Yep. A feast. Thanksgiving was great! we had my parents and my Uncle G over for the meal. Everyone arrived on Wednesday in the evening and we had a nice dinner out (no clean up that way...all the better for the cooking marathon the next day!). Then yesterday we got up, planned and started cooking. We had turkey (with loads of fresh herbs inside for cooking), chipotle-corn mashed potatoes, sage dressing, twice baked sweet potatoes, herb yeast rolls, Meyer lemon-cranberry relish, cranberry sauce, gravy (from scratch, my dad is the best!)....and then....pumpkin walnut strusel pie and apple-cranberry-currant pie! Now that's a lot of food! We literally cooked all day. It was chaos, but the good kind. Dinner was only a little bit late...6 or so instead of 4, but that is just how it goes. We only have 1 oven after all. After we stuffed our selves silly, we took a nice walk around our neighborhood to get some air and let things settle. Then we ate pie and planned today's adventures. Don has to work, but the rest of us are headed to P-town for a multi stop trip, with spice stores, fabric stores and a Leatherman outlet on the list. Hopefully traffic will co-operate!
