This was the first time we've hosted Thanksgiving and it was a good thing that our only guests were Way and Kevin! After much discussion about what to make, our dinner turned out to be a motley crew of food. Here was our menu:- Salami and Cheese (brie and havarti) appetizer platter
- Duck Pate (purchased on our honeymoon last year!)
- Chinese-style Soy-Sauce marinated Turkey
- Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce
- Roasted Brussel Spouts
- Whipped Potatoes
- Stuffing
- Cornbread
- Baked Sweet Potato
- Turkey gravy and cranberry sauce
- Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label Champagne
- Troon 2006 Merlot
- Lazy Boy Dubbel
- Spatten Optimator
Way and I smacked our lips to the chinese turkey, but Kevin and Scott thought it didn't go right with the (american style) stuffing and potatoes.
Verdict for next year: make 2 turkeys! One for Way and May, and one for Kevin and Scott. And, Kevin and Scott will have to cook their own turkey.

The turkey was tasty, considering it was our first attempt without maternal supervision AND we were winging it. The boys' tastebuds were shot after drinking so much beer anyway.
Thanksgiving dinner was great! We did drink a lot of beer, but we had a growler to finish! The dinner was great, but I wasn't able to convince everyone to put the stuffing inside of the turkey to cook. Next year we'll have a cook off with two birds :)
Coming in 2009... Iron Chef, not-so-secret ingredient: Turkey!
