Thanksgiving. In photos. Few Words.

Thanksgiving is celebrated at my sister’s house…she’s a good cook too and a great hostess. Yesterday we were, I think, 18 people. I was too busy photographing and eating the food so, sadly, I only managed to capture 4 people. 
The welcoming pig chef who announces the occasion.
Tablescape: Note the kiddie table covered with brown paper and crayons.
Some of the appetizers: pumpkin-pesto pizza pinwheel; guava paste, boursin cheese & almonds, and the star of the show a baked pumpkin cheese fondue.
Some of the sides: mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts & chestnuts,
carrots, and fennel, arugula and pomegranate salad.
mmmm…stuffing and gravy
Deep dish apple pie by Jim; store bought pumpkin pie;
pumpkin cookies by Teri; fruit salad by Carolyn.
And a few of the people we are thankful for:
Nina and Michael
Nico and Adriana
Hope you all had a wonderful day…don’t forget Blogger’s Aid which is fighting world famine.

Looks like you had a wonderful feast.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!! I loved the idea of the kid’s table. It must have kept them happy! The dishes look great! Are you going to post any of them?
I posted it on Blogger Aid and FoodBuzz.

hola Joan. What a great feast and adorable children! NOw, what’s in your stuffing! My mom didn’t let me make the one I really wanted to, which had smoked turkey, celery, apples, dried cranberries and cornbread!!! Next year for sure! Oh, and we always do a kids table!
Those roll ups look very cute.
I feel the same way about traveling, cooking, photography, etc. I agree that sometimes it’s really hard to make a choice….I’ve been trying to make that choice for 7 years now.
