We did have a fabulous Thanksgiving day with champagne, collaborative cooking and a surprise side dish of delicious, smokey Persian eggplant.
I sang, the poet read and the performance artist played a haunting tune on the harmonica. We had pumpkin pie, black coffee and then made ourselves cozy by the fireplace with a little bit of Apricot kernel liqueur.
And the following day there were leftovers and dancing.
Leftovers + duck egg = dinner.
