Since we had to attend a lecture on Thursday evening, we moved our Thanksgiving feast to Saturday. Everybody spent all day cooking: Lisa made a turkey (her first!) and stuffing, and Katie made homemade green bean casserole and applesauce. Everybody then brought the food they had made into the beautiful baroque library in the Kartause.
The food was excellent! It was exactly what Thanksgiving dinner should be. We filled our plates a couple of times with turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, bread, etc. Maria especially enjoyed the potatoes. Dessert had more of an international flavor, although it was not lacking in pumpkin and apple pies.
Happy Thanksgiving!
After dinner, we were entertained by music from all different cultures. Above is Katie playing her violin while the kids dance all around her. She kept playing even when little Eli was hanging on her right arm. We took a fair amount of pictures of the evening, which are now in an online album.
