Thanksgiving - twice!




On Thanksgiving Day, we had Grandma and Grandpa over for a wonderful gnocchi-broccoli-rab dinner. And for dessert (ht to Nate) a yummy pumpkin cheesecake. Grandma played a few dollars on the slot machine and came away empty handed. Neither she nor I have won the jackpot since they moved out here.

And then on Friday we had Julian and Maria and Katie over for dinner. Marianne cooked an organic, free-range turkey, which was excellent, as was the gravy, mashed potatoes, pumpkin rolls, cranberry relish, etc! A real feast. We also tried out the porron, and as you can see Quentin is pretty good at it!

We're thankful for the good food and family and friends. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Looks wonderful! I am looking forward to drinking out of that parron - what do you put in it again? Happy thanksgiving!

The porron is for red or white wine, and is often used for a dessert wine such as a muscat. I'm not brave enough to try it yet with a red wine - I miss my mouth and red wine stains!
