Thanksgiving fare

Thanksgiving was last Thursday, followed by a few days off for Mrs Walles and I.  We needed it after preparing all the food.  There was the turkey, of course...

 ...and bread stuffing with cranberries...

...fresh bread...

...along with yams (the American kind, like sweet potatoes), cornbread, more stuffing (cornbread this time, out of a packet), gravy, cranberry sauce and, as a token gesture towards nutritional balance, green beans.

Then there was dessert.  I made two pumpkin pies - to test the difference between fresh and canned pumpkin - and an apple pie.

There were only the two of us, but that just meant that we had leftovers right through the weekend, plus a few things for the freezer.  I wasn't going to let my first Thanksgiving pass without all the usual trimmings, just because there would be far too much food.  That's seldom a good enough reason to stop me doing anything!
