We work on Thanksgiving here. To improvise, Joe and another friend of ours, Liana, decided to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for our group of friends Friday evening. The house filled with the smell of roasting turkey, the site of gathering friends and their children, and the sound of holiday cheer. The food was incredible. Joe and Liana really outdid themselves. I think they had a good time together too. I joked with Liana Friday evening about the fact that she and Joe had spent more time together this week in preparation than with their spouses, and I think I mentioned that Alvaro (her husband) and I might be spending some time at the beach together this weekend to even things out.
Here are Joe and Liana in the kitchen preparing.
Here they are again, Joe tending to the mashed potatoes on the stove.
In traditional Thanksgiving fashion, we all overendulged by filling our plates too full the first time and going back for seconds and I think most of us tried each variety of pie--pecan and sweet potato despite the fact that we had no more room in our tummies. Nonetheless, it was a fabulous way to spend the holiday, even a day late.
