Thanksgiving

For our first Thanksgiving together, we decided for a low key day of cooking and eating traditional dishes. We made mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans with fried onions, rolls and, since we are vegetarians, veggie pot pies as our main dish. For dessert, we had Chris's family's pumpkin pie, which came out a bit weird-looking (see below), but great-tasting, and a pecan pie, both covered in generous amounts of freshly-made whipped cream. Most of the produce was purchased at our local farmers market in Fort Greene park. We ate on our new table, which we came across at a sidewalk sale in our neighborhood. The table was only $15, but we did have to walk it the 10 blocks home.
