thanksgiving feast - take 2

They say variety is the spice of life so we invited our friends Lynnis and Larry to bring their Thanksgiving leftovers and enjoy a second Thanksgiving feast. Lynnis and Larry are neighbors, friends and wonderful cooks--it was their Thanksgiving tradition of dinner with friends that first inspired the seasonal dinners we share with them.

I think their menu put ours to shame. Here's what they added to our meal:

Spiced Cheese Staws
Spiced Pecans

Salted Roast Turkey with Herbs and Shallot-Dijon Gravy
Sage Stuffing
Yukon Gold and Fennel Puree with Rosemary Butter
Sweet Potatoe and Apple Puree
Rose's Baked Artichoke Hearts
Creamed Spinach and Parsnips

Cranberry-Pomegranate Relish
Orange Fennel Rolls
Mary Jameson's Sweet Potato Biscuits

Pumpkin-Pecan Pie
Pear Cardamom Pie with Almond Crust
