Thanksgiving 2006
Thankful for a house full of faces new and familiar, Cafe Drake toasted the holiday in grand style with an international cast of guests (all bearing delicious offerings). Our very United Nations Thanksgiving included celebrants from Japan, Iceland, Mexico, Israel, Bulgaria, Slovenia and the U.S. The serving table groaned under the weight of roast turkey, smoked oyster and wild mushroom stuffings, cranberry sauce, chutney, stringbeans with pinenuts, a vegetable platter of spicy peppers, brocolli and baby carrots, lentil-and-brown rice casserole, pear and walnut and bleu cheese salad, vegetarian and non-vegetarian gravies, a cheese and sausage and pickles and olives platter, roasted yams with cilantro, mashed potatoes with dill and more! Desserts included a berry brulee, home-baked apple pie and pumpkin bread, all washed down with espresso and an assortment of cordials and digestifs. The red wine flowed (with an excellent assortment of Barollos, Pinot Noirs, Cabernets, et. al.), as did the bubbly and the warm conversation so integral to a holiday gathering. More pics to follow soon!
