My Turkey(s)

Thanksgiving Dinner was a huge success!  Slight change to the menu - I roasted the blue potatoes in the pan drippings, which was a much better choice than steaming.  Here is photo of me and my turkeys:


We followed all of this up with a chocolate-y frenzy (pecan tart with chocolate crust, homemade macarons, and small chocolates) and rousing games of Uno, King's Corner and Blokus.
