Thanksgiving was pretty low key for us this year. The food was still as intensely good and time consuming to make as previous years, but it was just us and Dave's parents. Our menu was:
- Turkey Dave's Way - Butterflied with Sausage Stuffing
- Cranberry Sauce with Pears and Ginger - a huge hit that made its way into the permanent Thanksgiving "must-haves"
- Crescent Rolls - so awesome and oh so time (and space) consuming to make. Probably the best rolls I have ever made though.
- Green Beans with Orange Essence and Toasted Maple Pecans - yummy
- Gravy
- Mashed Potatoes
- Cherry Pie
- Chocolate Cream Pie
- Triple Chocolate Pecan Pie
Dave's mom also brought a salad, a banana cream pie and a pumpkin pie. The food was amazing.
And before the feasting began, Hilde, Enoch and I ran our neighborhood Turkey Trot. This was the second year that Hide has ran with me, the first for Enoch. Enoch made it about halfway, and luckily for him that put him right on our street headed to our house. So he walked home while Hilde and I finished. They are such great kids, I love running with them. It was, super cold and a little windy though.
