We decided to have our Thanksgiving last Saturday instead of the traditional last Thursday in November. Most of the people we wanted to invite were either going to be away or working so we had Dennis, AJ, Peter and friend Craig, Don and Lou (2 recent arrivals from San Francisco), Stuart and myself made eight. We had invited "Paul at the Gate" but he didn't show up. Instead of cooking the traditional turkey, we had two boneless turkey breasts . Delicious. Stuart prepared the turkey and gravy not to mention the oyster dressing and I made the cranberry relish We had shrimp cocktail and calves liver pate as appetisers (I made the shrimp cocktail/sauce), roasted winter vegetables,( carrots, parsnips, fennel and butternut squash) together with pommes anna. For dessert, Ina Gartens Rum Raisin Tiramisu and her recipe for Eaton Mess, all washed down with lashings of wine followed by Port and Stilton!, Yummo! Oh, we had asked our lovely guests from Denver to join us for dessert, which they did. Lovely indeed!!!
I don't know what we will be doing on the day. Too late now to book a restaurant but, hey ho, its an American holiday, not a British one. Wait a minute ...in that case, why were we doing all the work??? Mmmm. Have to rethink for next year!!!
