Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was an extended-family affair this year. Some
of the cooking took place at Zona's, and the rest took place at Cathy and Jon's,
who hosted the feast. One of the chefs at Cathy's was Erik, who
braved the cold to cook a beef tenderloin on the backyard gas barbeque.
There were three tables providing places for folks to sit and eat -- the food
was served buffet style. Yummmm.
