Thanksgiving Day.


Doug & Robin invited me for dinner. Her parents flew in from Oklahoma City, her brother from Nashville. Also invited was her friend Sarah from MTV, and Doug's classmate Tom and Tom's boyfriend Tony. And me.

I walked to Western Beef (love their mascot - a cowboy hat wearin' cactus!) around 1:00 and picked up supplies for my hors d'oeuvers. It was so sunny and beautiful. But, when I walked out, it was raining and freezing! Surely I hadn't been shopping for that long...

So I dried out by the oven as the turkey roasted. My BLT dip was a smash. (Oh, it does taste like a BLT!) As was the Chocolate Chip Cheese dip, but we were getting too full by the time that hit the table.

Robin did a marvelous job on the turkey! And Tony's broiled pears with Marsala were fabulous, too. We rolled ourselves back out to the living room and chattered until 10:30 p.m.

And when I arrived home, the Tavern was closed!
