a feast nearby

thanksgiving day. it was the first holiday spent away from my family (due to work), but i was so thankful to be in the loving company of g.

we had planned on a humble menu, with all local ingredients. and of course, embellished with a wine from our trip to cambria. as with all holidays centered on feasting, i anticipated a fair amount of prep work. but the thought of what was to come, shared with g, made the prep that much more exciting.

and so we were off. on a mission to create a soul-nourishing feast:

a roasted chicken with lemon and fresh herbs
dandelion salad with grapefruit
rosemary-scalloped potatoes
butternut squash with sage
sauteed kale with onion 
mashed yams with honey and cinnamon
roasted brussels sprouts


follow us as we prepped our way along to our feast nearby...
