This year marked our 5th Thanksgiving celebration here in Seattle at the Centenarian. It was once again most excellent - see AJ's menu below. As always, we missed our family and friends all over the US (and world!), but we celebrated with you in spirit with a raucous Seattle crowd!
The day began with a trio of vegan cheeses and crackers, all homemade.
AJ made a white sangria with big persimmon chunks in it!
First course, a spicy pumpkin soup with coconut panna cotta and Turkish pretzels. Taste tested with two steel-aged Washington Chardonnays.
Adrienne prepares to carve the main course, Egglpant Wellington. Taste tested with two Pinot noirs, one from Cali one from OR.
Wild mushrooms over celarac-truffle mash.
The crew!
And then dessert - Indian Pudding and Cardemom ice cream.
And The Blondes made it over for dessert too!
Late night unwinding - conversation and bourbon into the wee hours.
