2 days of cooking, 25-30 friends and family, all fireplaces blazing, pre-dinner silly games and a long after-dinner walk in the dark and, often, chilly drizzle. Mrs. BD did the flowers for each table. Usually 4 tables set up in the living room, dining room for buffet and kitchen table for desserts.
Maybe next year. Last night we took our team of 12 out for a pre-TG dinner. Good times, and Mrs. BD brought her own squash pies for dessert.
Didn't get any port this year. Happy Thanksgiving to all. There is so much to be thankful for and I do not mean material comforts although those do matter too. We're doing diner take-out for the three of us (us two, and F-in-law) to celebrate in front of the fireplace. Bought a bottle of Highland Park just for him. Maybe me too.
