HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

HER: We hosted thanksgiving dinner at our apartment this year. A few of our friends decided to join us for this event.
Excited and anticipating this special dinner, feeling the holiday spirit ;). I started preparing a few dishes late on wednesday evening.
- The stuffing (a mixture of garlic confit, sausage, goat cheese and fresh parsley and other herbs to keep the tradition but with a hint of excitement add to it).
- Cherry salad (no offense to the cramberry lovers, we like cherries best!)
- Crab and mushroom duxelle dip.
- Marinating the turkey.
- Searing the pork loin, preparing for roasting, wrapping it up with bacon =).

Trying to get over the flu, we had a late morning start, but manage to get everything going just in time =).
That included a pumpkin cheesecake, oyster stew, mashed potatoes, haricot verts in garlic butter and everything in the oven just in time!

Nothing feels better than sitting at the table and being able to enjoy dinner with a table full of friends and your love right beside you.
With a glass arising, hope your thanksgiving was as much fun and enjoyable as mine was.

Pictures will come as soon as we get them.
Special thanks to our friend Roshaika for the wonderful Mac and cheese and the beautiful collard greens, to Jacob for the rolls and salad and to Jason for the delicious teas and tasty sweet potatoes!
