Thanksgiving 2007

There is a center island in my kitchen and we start at the upper left hand corner with the meat and gravy and circle around serving up sidedishes.

This photo shows the serving arrangements for our meals, not just holiday ones but everyday ones.







Roasted Turkey, Gravy, Cornbread Dressing, Sweet Potato Souffle, Brussel Sprouts, Sweet Onions w/artichoke spread, and Cranberry Sauce.



Then we take a place at the table where we say a blessing, unless there are two rooms of diners in which case we gather around the food and pray then.


That's a Black Swan Shiraz/Merlot which we enjoyed.

It's always a challenge to find a red that doesnt clash with the cranberry sauce.

This one worked.

And thinking of leftovers, I bought two bottles.



Now the challenge is to remember this label next year.

Dessert was compliments of Sam's. This pecan pie was perfect a la mode on an antiques glass dessert plate. (See my FAF entry here.)
















And yes, my family thinks I'm a little nuts with all this photo-taking.

But I'm thinking family cookbook complete with illustrations.
