Within a few days of our wedding, Bill was already planning our firs holiday meal. He volunteered to host Thanksgiving dinner.
In true Bill fashion, he laid out a spread of nibbles:
- A trio of cheeses
- Olives and almonds
- House-made duck confit
- Onion and goat cheese tart with Bailie’s freshmade pesto
When we sat down to our first meal served on our new China, we feasted on:
- Smoked turkey breast
- Stuffed pork loin
- The traditional mashed potatoes and gravy
- Green beans
- Fresh cranberry and citrus sauce
- And we forgot to serve the squash
And for dessert, a trio of choices
- Chocolate hazelnut tart
- Pecan pie topped with fresh whip cream
- And the Shultz family tradition: Blackberry pie
