A healthy gathering
Some snapshots of the Thanksgiving dinner I had in San Diego. Nearly everyone was vegetarian, and even those that weren’t were ardent turkey-haters, or pumpkin-neutral. So the idea was to make it a healthy meal, which we did.
Some Potatoes au gratin absolutely dripping with cheese:
Baked zucchini, with lots of cheese to neutralize any benefits of the vegetable:
Black bean soup, where the celery by no means dominated:
More beans (yes, these were appallingly low fat, inspite of all the olive oil they were drenched in):
Pear Crisp with whipped cream:
and a Banana Cream Pie with more whipped cream:
But the most important servings were large dollops of giggles, reminiscences and the warmth of college and grad school friendships with two beloved old roommates:
And, finally, stiff cosmos, good cheer and the promise of many more such healthy gatherings in years to come:
Hope everyone celebrating had a happy thanksgiving weekend! Thank you all for the generous comments on my Ogee Tunic! I think I replied to everyone, but in case I missed anyone, thanks again. I got a lot of knitting done these past few days too, so stay tuned for some significant progress pictures on my WIPs…
