Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great this year. We got some much needed rain and awoke to a beautiful rainbow; we love the clean air and smells after a rain.



We had dinner at our house and the fare was bountiful and delicious, all paired with awesome wines, and the table was festive.

Appetizers
* Veggies and ranch dip
* Meatballs and 'Lil Smokies
* Feta cheese and Kalamata olives
* Champagne mimosa cocktail w/ pomegranate and Cointreau, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay

Salad
* Mixed greens with roasted golden and red beets, fried goat cheese fritters

Main Course
* Roast turkey and gravy
* Dressing - two types, Greek rice/chestnut style and bread style
* Mashed potatoes
* Yams
* Green bean casserole
* Broccoli gorgonzola casserole
* Spanikopita
* Crescent rolls and cranberry sauce
* Cabernet, pinot noir, zinfandel

Dessert
* Sweet potato cheesecake
* Pumpkin pie
* Coffee
We wrapped up with the family rocking the house on Guitar Hero.

Great day and a lot to be thankful for!
