A time for feasting is how I think about Thanksgiving, and this holiday was no different. I was careful though this past weekend as I was wanting to focus on the people we were sharing our Thanksgiving with. Hence...not very many pictures, but, a slew of yummy dishes, and tons of fun to make and share with friends we feel are really more like family.
Friday Dinner, Thai Green Curry with chicken served with Basmati Rice
Saturday Dinner, 20oz Ribeye steaks with Jumbo Shrimp, Corn on the Cob with grilled Portobello Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions
20oz Ribeye Beauties |
Sunday Morning before our trip to the waterfalls
Breakfast of Basque Eggs on a Nest of Ham and Homemade Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
