Tday retrospective

After looking at M's photos of our Thanksgiving Day celebration, I realized it really did merit a blog posting.



We spent a lovely, relaxing Thanksgiving Day hanging out with Emily and our Camp Spoonhowopic buddies, M & J. (Brian was out of town for his 10-year high school reunion, otherwise he would have joined us, as well.)

M brought her two specialties, pound cake and red wine (lots of red wine), and J baked some of the yummiest breads I have ever tasted. The other Em brought garlic mashed (purple) potatoes and chocolate volcanoes (mmm, lava). In addition to some old standby appetizers, the rest of our dinner consisted of raspberry vinaigrette salad, cranberries, green beans, cachaza sweet potatoes (we were out of bourbon, again) and vegetarian stuffing and gravy to complement Graham's first ever turkey. If you would like to look at 30 or so photos of Graham carving said free range organic carcass, click on the image above.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"We were out of bourbon, again"? What exactly is going on over there at casa SKBK?

Great photo, though. It looks like it should be on the cover of some Time-Life Home for the Holidays cookbook kinda thing.

I guess it's not that we were out of bourbon, as much as we just never had any to begin with. The same thing happened last year. I set out to make my dear Food & Friends buddy Charles Battle's Bourbon Sweet Potatoes, and then realized, at 10pm the night before Tday that I didn't have bourbon. Oops.

Yes, M is a professional photographer, and it shows.
