Thanksgiving dinner

Yvette put together a fat traditional Thanksgiving dinner last night. We had 12 people, a pumpkin pie, an apple pie topped with crumples, a cheese cake, 2 banana cakes, one beer bread, dozens of rolls, salad, sweet potato, mashed potato, stuffing and a 22-lbs turkey from a local butcher. That was a big feast. We spent 2 hours at the table and only finished half of the turkey and leftovers of all kind. We lit the fireplace and sat at the couch, chattering and drinking wine and champagne till almost midnight.

As a part of the tradition, we woke up today all eating pumpkin pie and apple pie for breakfast. Then I had a full turkey meal for lunch. Yvette made a broth out of the bones and loosen meat. We won't be needing to cook for at least 3 days.
