We will be alone for Thanksgiving this year. I am taking comfort in planning and cooking as if we weren't. Maybe we will will find a lonely college student in the next week, and just in case, this is what we will entice them with.

There. I feel better.
Are you sure you can't come cook all that lovely stuff out here? April feels like way too long a wait to hang out and eat your er-mazing food...
ReplyDeleteoh I think we can make it over for that. what time huh?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it sounds wonderful and I think you're putting my plans to shame over here.
Ooh, too bad we're not sticking around! I can't wait to see what's on the menu for Christmas Eve :)
ReplyDeleteIf you plan to be alone again next year, please let us know. I think we can arrange to put you out of your misery!
ReplyDeleteWow. Yum. Enjoy every last bite.
ReplyDeleteWe were alone this year too, for the first time in years, my family didn't make it from the 4 corners. But we made a heck of a meal, and our college friend Georgia spent the night before and helped us cook and eat so it was good! Instead of the potato fennel gratin, we made potato leek gratin with gruyere.
