For the adults: Butternut squash filled with a nut, cheese, sage, bread and onion stuffing served with a side order of beetroot and carrot sauteed in butter, garlic and orange juice, plus asparagus bundles tied with leek. For the Girl: baked beans and (NOT on) toast.
For the Boy: Shredded Wheat, without milk.
Oh, and ok, the kids also had some nuts and fruit and stuff.
In the afternoon we went on a 'candy trail' down at Five Rivers, a Thanksgiving tradition (as of today) which involved a 'candy fairy' keeping one step ahead of the rest of the party as we rounded the lake. The Girl quickly sussed what was going on, she's never been one for suspending her disbelief - if there are strings she'll always delight in pointing them out.
Asparagus in season?
ReplyDeleteWell I guess not, but we had some leftover stalks in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteAnd is that a glass of Mayflower Mead to quaff with that delicious feast?
ReplyDeleteDry shredded wheat sounds like something they'd have to eat in a bushtucker trial on 'I'm a Celebrity..'.
