OK, it is 10 days after the fact. However, I did want to note that Mr. & I shared in a lovely Thanksgiving repast with host with the most Kyle, his charming Victrola-bearing husband Christopher, their neighbo(u)rs Tara & Morton, and our dear friend Tim. We are all pictured above. The one shot where Mr. was not apeing shoveling food into his mouth also managed to cut him out of the photo (figures, huh?). Considering that, we all look terrific. The menu was exceptional including two turkeys, an amazing cold cucumber & avocado soup courtesy of Kyle, who was also kind enough to ask whether I wanted shrimp (I did not), my traditional cornbread & chorizo dressing (if two years running count as traditional), and pumpkin pie from scratch.
Musical as our hosts are, we sang our grace and then listened to hours of 78s on Christopher's Victrola. There may not be a better way to listen to music. Take that, iPod!
A victrola? Now that is traditional.........

I agree with the Victrola, but passing on Scrimp?
Now, that just ain't right.

How did the pumpkin pie turn out?

I must try that stuffing, sounds incredible. My Puerto Rican uncle used to make a turkey with 40 cloves of garlic and the chorizo stuffing sounds perfect with it instead of the terrible chestnut stuff he used to make.

Wow, that cornbread and chorizo stuffing looks amazing. I did something similar to that but with regular sausage this year. I must try that recipe. Oh, and thanks for visiting my blog!

It is so so so embarassing that here it is, like, 100 years after Thanksgiving, and not only haven't *I* posted anything about this great fun day, but that I only just now got around to reading your post. I agree it was a fabulous afternoon/evening... you guys are the best guests! Can't wait to do more dinner parties. Have they gone out of fashion yet?
