Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was a Mark and Christian's new house in Cave Creek--and this was no ordinary Thanksgiving!

To begin, Mark asked that we have "small plates" for the meal- of course neither Shirley or I knew what that meant, so here's how it went! Our first course was Bruschetta with Sangria and Bacon wrapped Shrimp! YUMMY!

Our 2nd course we sat at the table to enjoy a salad and Crab stuffed Mushrooms! Between this and the main course we took time to digest our first two courses by playing a few rounds of Dominoes.

The main course consisted of Steak with a garlic onion cream sauce and then all the fixens that Shirley and I brought; Corn Souffle, Mashed Potatoes and Roles. After this course we watched some TV, then made our final attempt at the last course-Dessert!

For dessert Shirley brought Apple Pie and Mark and Christian supplied the ice cream! At this point, I gave up- I could eat nothing more! After I watched everyone else eat dessert we finished the evening by playing the rest of our Dominoes game! Not what I expected for Thanksgiving, but very satisfying!
