Thanksgiving 2011: An epic feast
Thanksgiving in my husband’s family has always consisted of a full day of nonstop cooking by all, eating, drinking, eating more and watching movies. This year was no exception. A different theme is chosen for each year (last year all the food was Cajun: jambalaya, fried okra, gumbo, cornbread, etc.), and this year’s was a twist on the traditional. We turned traditional Thanksgiving foods (pumpkin pie, turkey, green bean casserole) into other creations, like pumpkin bread pudding, turkey mousse and green bean fritters.
It was triumphant.
And the amount of food was ridiculous — especially considering there were only four of us.
