Thanksgiving: A Spring Event!
Q: What is the day before Easter?
A: Thanksgiving! (If you missed it last November...)
Oh, and what a Thanksgiving it was...started with 24 hours of cooking, and ended with a fabulous meal.
First, photos of the spread.
The meat!
The veggies!
The pie!
The combo platter!
For those of you that prefer a list, the dishes were:
Sage-butter roasted brined turkey
Pinot noir cranberry sauce
Orange cranberry relish
Sourdough stuffing with pomegranates
Garlic mashed potatoes
Brussels Sprouts with peppered bacon
Asparagus with walnuts and parmesan
Roasted sweet potatoes with coriander citrus butter
Wild rice with butternut squash, pomegranates, and hazelnuts
Cayenne corn bread
Butter lettuce salad with heirloom grape tomatoes, clementines, and cucumber
Mushroom bruschetta
Artisanal cheeses
Potato and rosemary bread
French baguette
Shaker lemon pie
Banana cream pie
Apple pie, latticed
Apple pie, covered
Gourmet cupcakes
Homemade pumpkin ice cream
Vanilla ice cream
Pumpkin bread
As the Pilgrims and the Native Americans said at the table: yum!
Only 8 months until the next Thanksgiving!

Landfood
The only appropriate way to launch this blog is with a picture of food. In particular, good food made better with bacon.
This food happens to be a blue-cheese stuffed burger topped with two strips of bacon, tomato, lettuce, grilled onion, another strip of bacon, and a condimented-bun.
Yum!
Expect more postings soon, often with food, sometimes not.
