thanksgiving 2007

me having to make crab cakes with icky blue glove on to protect my fingy
it's amazing that i didn't do more damage to myself other than jamming my finger down into the blender blade whilst cleaning it. dreary from our 14 mile hike on snow and ice and 7 hours of constant up and down, chills & sweating ~ we arrived back home after 6pm with a menu to start and aching feet that argued every minute of standing. The menu unfolded, the fire roared (well, as much as a propane fireplace can) the music chimed and the drinks flowed.

9 pm came along and with it we enjoyed the following w/ recipes to come:

smoky pumpkin & chestnut soup

fresh dungeness crab cakes

w/

housemade horseradish aoli

northwest ceasar salad

&

mom larson's lemon bars
