Thanksgiving Dinner

We were invited to go over to "town" (note--we call the community of Baranof with 12 cabins and 1 full time resident "town") for Thanksgiving dinner, so I volunteered to bake some pies and bread. Since we have plenty of bowls here, I decided to do them all at once.

Jen hates it when I bake because it's very messy.

Three loaves of sourdough, three loaves of sourdough egg braid, one pumpkin pie and one apple/rhubarb/blueberry ought to be enough to hold the 5 of us at dinner.

Isn't it amazing how many dirty dishes baking entails? Luckily Jennifer cheerfully volunteered to do the cleanup.

OK--I might have been stretching it a bit on the "cheerfully" part.

Thursday night, we kicked the evening off with a toast of "Baranof Elixer," Christine's homemade specialty, which was suprisingly good (but I don't want to know what's in it)!

Christine--our "Hostess with the Mostest"!

Carving the bird.

Luke and Hank dishing up.

Dinner is served!

I think Hank liked the apple/rhubarb/blueberry pie (that's pie filling on his nose)!


Thanks for a great dinner, Christine!

  1. Wow, the inside of Christine's house! But I wanted to see the hot springs tub! Sigh. Want to be there.
