T'sgiving and the Day After

[fflo]

It's kind of pleasant here at work the day after T'sgiving---esp. as 3 of us (the few, the proud) went out for a leisurely Pizza House lunch. Now it's a little hard to motivate for the afternoon, though.

It was a fun meal---the menu included

martinis, gin & tonics

homemade potato chips w/Stilton dip
bacon-wrapped pineapple
Holly's sweet/spicy party almonds
parmesan breadsticks

salad of grapefruit & red onion, w/pomegranate wedge

carrot soup w/fresh thyme, leek, and gruyere crouton

turkey w/wild rice stuffing & gravy
roasted winter vegetables
mashed potatoes
bread stuffing w/wild mushrooms (vegan)
turnip galette
green beans w/walnuts
wine/water

pear custardy "turnover"
apple custardy "turnover"
cranberry tart
NY cheesecake (plain and pumpkin-choc. chip)



Mmmmmmmmmm.

A couple of guests had a little much to drink, but it was a pretty good time. I dig going to the mod ranch house out in hills of the wealthy, across the river. LaMont throws a good shindig.
