Thanksgiving and Taking

Ron, Jay, Stephen and I had a 9 course dinner for the 4 of us. It was amazing. Food is always amazing when I am with these boys. Three out of the four of us are foodies/gastrophiles and, not to mention, good cooks. I am not, but I KEEN! What I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasm and eager to pleaseness.

I was Ron's sous chef and learned a lot.

If I can recall we had:

1. Roasted oysters

(censored)

2. scallops on leek beds

3. Deviled Egg in cup.

4. cod with veg

5. Brussels sprout salad

6. veal with yam

7. butternut squash soup

8. Turkey and all the fixins

9. 5 pumpkin desserts on a plate.

The four diners and chefs.

It was massive and wonderful. A full day spent cooking and talking and just enjoying life and each other. Ron's sister Cynthia and her husband Joe and his nephew Chris and friend Jon came over for the dessert portion and the 8 of us had a lively discussion about politics and life in general.
