The Pilgrim and the Turkey want to wish everyone a very
Happy Thanksgiving!
(Baby Squanto was taking a nap when this picture was taken and is therefore not shown.)
We were lucky enough to get 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year. The first one was made by moi and included such nontraditional menu items as NY strip steaks, orzo pilaf, Rocky Mountain Salad, watermelon (from our garden!), Strong family multi-layered jello, pumpkin chiffon pie and the always delicious Taylor family favorite, cranberry ice! It took me two full days to make it but since I only do crazy cooking like this once a year, I didn't mind too much.
We even got out the fine china and crystal. (When else are we going to use it?)
Then the next day we got to have Thanksgiving all over again with our wonderful friends in Tucson. J. and C. spoiled us silly with a delicious traditional Thanksgiving feast. Besides the mouth-watering turkey, the honey crusted ham, and the tangy-sweet baby back ribs, there were so many side dishes, it would take too much bandwidth to name them all. We are so grateful for the Ross' gracious hospitality and for allowing us to share this wonderful holiday with them.
