The set table, before the feast
Thanksgiving is probably the holiday most rooted in tradition for me. We always have it with my mom's side of the family: Grams, Auntie Lorin, and Eden. Over the years our table has expanded and contracted, but the core remains the same (as do the dishes, even if we try new things each year, they're always in addition to the staples). It's always the same headache, the aunts yelling at my grandma, the kids being generally unhelpful. But it always turns out DELICIOUS, even if my mom tries to force salad down our throats (seriously mom, no one needs salad when there's stuffing and gravy). So I present Thanksgiving 2011, at 449 Wetherly:
The buffet all set
Eden holds a glass of champagne
The turkey pre-cooking
Peels from potatoes
Grams
Basting the bird
Almonds for the beans
TA-DA!
Mom carving the turkey
Our all female holiday
