The Daily Drool: Thanksgiving Edition

Fresh from the oven

We had Thanksgiving twice this year. I know, I know, GLUTTONS.

But really, I just wanted to entertain in my new house. I got a new dinner table last week (reconditioned barn wood), and we actually have room for people to move around and relax and I just needed to have a dinner here. My mom traditionally always has a Thanksgiving meal at her house on Thanksgiving so I decided to have my meal on Sunday. Following is my menu and a few select photographs of my meal.
