Happy Thanksgiving! Grant and I are celebrating in DC and our dear friend Sarah is coming over to celebrate with us. Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday and we always look forward to spending time together with friends/family, relaxing, cooking, laughing, and of course eating. This year's celebration will be a marathon as we have a number of courses and we're determined to take a slow and enjoyable pace. I've posted the menu below, as I know my brother will appreciate the various dishes, even though their vegan.
Enjoy this holiday and I'll post pictures this weekend.
