Thanksgiving Recap

November 28, 2008
The Davies family invited us "Thanksgiving Orphans" for dinner yesterday for a gourmet, nontraditional Thanksgiving feast fit for kings. Maybe someday I can be as cool as Sheryl and Jason and make food like this: [brusselsprouts & roasted sunchokes, roasted yams, creamy green beans–forgot the name, mushroom crèpes, potato and cauliflower mashed potatoes with blue cheese, lamb and cranberry-orange peel garnish] Everything was so tasty, I ate seconds and wished I had enough room for thirds and fourths. Good thing I didn't go back for thirds, because I wouldn't have had room for dessert. Again, a shame that I didn't write down the names, I forgot what these dishes were called. Either way, they were delicious. I'm a little occupied with expressing how phenomenal the food was, and it really was great. The company couldn't be beat, either. I am so grateful to have spent Thanksgiving with such wonderful people. Thank you, Sheryl and Jason, for having us for dinner yesterday!!
