We celebrated this most American and most autumnal (and most colonial) (except maybe Columbus Day) of holidays a day (or two depending on your time zone) late. We were only six at table this year, but we did the whole thing. The turkey was flown in from the South Island. It got three days of dry salty herby rub and came out really good.
It’s strawberry season here, so our salad was an easy way to nod at New Zealand’s hemisphere. But everything else was verbatim from the meal we grew up with. Including Stove Top stuffing. Delicious!
The weather cleared up in time for the meal, so we got to show off the view. We had only two couples over this time, old friends and brand new. The conversation was so good that I completely forgot to get pictures during the actual meal!
