Thanksgiving

This post comes few days late. Oh well. I was simply to lazy to blog, even though I didn't do much over the weekend. This was the first Thanksgiving, where Jared and I aren't dating. Amazing, huh? With my dad in Africa, my mom in Virgina, Jared's folks in MT, it was left up to Nita and I to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Now, I know why people order pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner. It's soo much easier and you don't have to stand all day in the kitchen. Enjoy the photos. 



Roasted Turkey Breast



Ham

 
Broccoli-Cauliflower gratin

 
 Spinach Salad with apples, cranberries, candied pecans & walnuts. Dressing: Honey Dijon Mustard Vinegrette



Nita's homemade apple pie 



 The Austin Family , who I had invited to celebrate the holidays with us.


 Calvin & Spencer passed out in the Living Room.

I think Marlith and I were the only people awake after our Thanksgiving meal. Jared was passed out as well. Then again, that was to be expected, as he had worked the night before. And know surprise here, of course, Nita and & Nat were passed out upstairs. Other dishes incl.: Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce, string beans with mushrooms & bacon, bruchetta, chocolate chip pie, baked macaroni casserole, platter of fresh fruits. If I'm not mistaken that was it.

  1. That photo of Spencer and Calvin passed out cracks me up every time I see it. So funny! The photos of the food gave me flash backs of how delicious it all was and how it would be great to have such a feast again. Of course, minus all the crazy, busy labor you and Nita had to do for it. We really did and always will appreciate it! Love ya! Marlith

Oh and that the photos of the food gave me flash back of how delicious it all were and we're so very thankful for you and Nita's hard work and awesome cooking skills. Love ya! M
