Thanksgiving weekend

So much to be thankful for this year.

Im sad to say I don't have 1 picture, but I will give you the lowdown. Grampa Tu, Nana, and Uncle Dan joined us and I made:

Save the chicken pot pie
Brussel sprouts with Pomegranates and Hazelnuts
Stuffing with Roasted Acorn Squash and Chestnuts
Arugula Salad with Persimmons, Toasted Nuts, and Goat Cheese with a Mustard Vinaigrette
Pecan Pie
Vegan Pumpkin Pie
Coconut whipped cream
The cocktail was a Dark and Stormy which is dark rum, ginger beer, and fresh lime juice.

Nana brought Artichoke nibblers for an appetizer, and Sweet Potatoe Latkes for lunch.
Oh and Luka would like me to let everyone know that he ate 4 brussel sprouts without complaining.


Then on Friday we had the Russian's over for leftovers. That's what we call it, but I made a whole other dinner without too many leftovers:

Grilled Tofu with Mushroom Gravy
Stuffing (leftover)
Vegan Ceasar Salad with Lemon Garlic Croutons
Chinese 5 Spice Cranberries
Dark and Stormies
Pumpkin and Pecan Pie (leftover)

All in all it was a delicious 2 days, and today we finally finished everything.

Lots of THANKS and lots of GIVING
