Topher and I spent Thanksgiving with his parents at their house in North Carolina, as we have the past two years, and had a fabulous feast.
We started the day off right with a breakfast of pumpkin pie and coffee. Then Topher and his dad spent the next several hours in the kitchen preparing the turkey and all the sides (including two dishes from Bobby Flay's recent "Thanksgiving Feast" Throwdown). Thanksgiving dinner - that ambiguous is-it-lunch-or-is-it-supper meal - commenced about 2:30pm.
What We Ate:
- Oven-roasted turkey with stuffing
- Creamy Mashed Potatoes with gravy
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates and Vanilla-Pecan Butter
- Homemade cranberry sauce
- Buena Vista Carneros - 2007 Ramal Vineyard Dijon Clone Chardonnay
- And for dessert: Chocolate cream pie (topped with a beautiful meringue)
And then I spent the rest of the afternoon walking off the calories. :)
A few pictures from the day:
