Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, smoked brisket, turkey & gravy (cranberry sauce, alas, forgotten), Mandarin orange salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And I’m not even going to mention the deserts: Truffle’s lovely cheesecake, pumpkin pie, apple pie. Nor the appetizers: beer-boiled shrimp, cheese, olives, crackers, homemade giardiniera relish (thanks again to Truffle). Let’s just say we gave thanks for country, company, friends, and family in the grand tradition.<\/p>\n

Who came to Crouton & Ditalini’s house? Number one daughter Escargot, of course. Number one son Baguette drove down from Las Vegas with our daughter-in-law Truffle and grandson Pesce (granddaughter Biscotto is away in college, so we were missing one deMenthe). In keeping with tradition, we invited a single friend to share the bounty: Grissini Asperagi.<\/p>\n

More photos? Sure, why not?
