Thanksgiving 2011

thanksgivingThanksgiving this year was a smaller affair, again at Ben and Anita Freiday's. Kenny (the annual resurrected bird via South Park) weighed in at 7.7kg with neck. I had ordered it the week before at the Hunyadi ter market with no problems. With the accompaniment of some very good Sauska Cuvee 13, we also made stuffing, dressing, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, along with cranberry-strawberry and pumpkin pies. I was not impressed with the wine as much as the Cuvee 7 at first tasting a couple years ago, but some time in the readingbottle has improved it greatly. As usual, Dan Bacsi spent much of the later evening playing and reading with the kids. Abi, Noah, Sam, Lala and Emma kept me nicely busy.
