So this year I hosted Thanksgiving for friends and decided that this meal needed to be the very definition of bounty and (over)abundance. Thank goodness I took the week off from work to accomplish this feat. It was a great fun. It is because of its focus on friends and food that Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday of mine. Busy cooking, I forgot to take any photos, but my friends Jack and Dory managed to capture the turkey just out of the oven. Let the Christmas menu planning begin!
