thanksgiving 2010

Adrienne pulled out all the stops as expected for Thanksgiving Day.  It was just us for the day - I don't even think we went outside - as Mark was snowed in at his house and couldn't make it down.  We missed family and friends, but sure enjoyed the day just the two of us.  Below you'll find in pictures our gastronomical delights from the holiday.

note: Almost all of this was either grown in our garden or made from scratch.  Truly remarkable!
