One Cat's Seattle

Of course, today wasn't only Mark's birthday. It was Thanksgiving, too, which explains all the food my domestics brought home yesterday. With Nancy here, the kitchen really came alive. You wouldn't believe all the food that came out of that tiny kitchen: deviled eggs, a 5-pound roast pork loin, fresh brussels sprouts in homemade garlic butter, artichokes, swiss chard gratin with homemade bechamel, Italian sausage stuffing, and a lovely salad.

And then, their friends Drew and Valerie came over with even MORE food! They listened to music, drank wine, dined, and talked for hours.

Food photos rarely do their subjects justice, but you can at the very least see what a magnificent variety of foods they had. Nancy and Mark agreed: it was among the most delicious Thanksgiving meals they had ever had.
