Thanksgiving Pictures

Theresa and Hugh O'Byrne and their four cats hosted Nicole and me at their home in Trenton, New Jersey, for Thanksgiving. (Theresa is a former classmate of Nicole's.) I had a really great time. Thank you again Hugh and Theresa!

Pirate wants to know when he can start on that bird!
Theresa had a great idea when I was trying to figure out where to brine the turkey. A clean vegetable drawer in the spare refrigerator in the basement was just the right size for our 11 pound bird and it was easy to keep it cold!

Of course the task of the day on Thursday was cooking. Here's some of the results. Fortunately Ceil and Jim, Nicole's parents, joined us for the feast too or we would have had to call on the cats to help!

Ready to eat.

I had to eat the pie before taking a picture of it.
