DC Thanksgiving
Our Thanksgiving was damned fine, albeit more geographically-concentrated than Jank’s. We spent most of the day trying to keep to a tight oven schedule for turkey, two dressings, stuffed mushrooms, baked brie, two pies, plus the 4 casseroles that showed up later.
All told, 12 grown-ups, 2 dogs and a baby. Good time had by all.

After:
Cynthia Whips up some cranberry sauce (we also served the gelatinous cylinder form for the traditionalists in the crowd)
Pie was served. That’s it in front of all the booze. Pecan on the left, pumkin on the right. Mike showed up later with another pecan, so nobody wanted for pie.
Geekiest Thanksgiving ever. My friend Tom insisted I borrow an iBook and iSight so we could set up a video link between our Turkey Day get-togethers. We compared cooking progress throughout the day and occasionally yelled at each other’s unwitting guests. As the evening devolved, their feed turned into closed-circuit videogame coverage. Ours was more like stupor-vision.
Karolina digs in
as does Scott.
