Dinner with Miles & Thelonius

Thanksgiving, November 27, 2008, Price Hill. Honored guests: Gregory Sylvester, Gregory Richard, Gregory Isaac, Elizabeth Victoria, Wren Catherine, Mark Justin, Jon Sledge, Nancy Teresa, Diane Therese, and the blogger.

It was the best of times. It was not the worst of times. Unless you believe the New York Times and the latest economic forecasts by our mediocre media. For me, it was one of our best Thanksgiving dinners. Greg basted the 16 pounder to perfection. Recipe courtesy of Rachael Ray via Joules Evans in 2007.

Tabor Hill has been our winery of choice for a few years. Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk came along with Sledge; I drank in the music while mashing potatoes and baking pumpkin pies.

Borrowed from John Williams
