Thanksgiving

[mrdutton]

I hope everyone of you has a special, significant day today however you celebrate this holiday!

My wife and I went out to dinner to a small intimate place in Portsmouth, VA called Pfeiffer's.

We started with warmed, mulled apple cider and she-crab soup. Next course was a very nice salad of romaine, red onion, cukes and tomatoes lightly coated with a raspberry dressing. The main course consisted of turkey, virginia ham, carrots, baked stuffed tomato (stuffing was broccoli), wild rice pilaf with walnuts, garlic mashers, whole cranberry sauce with mandarin oranges and a very nice Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau. The meal ended with mince-meat pie and coffee.

What a feast!

I asked the owner to reserve a half-case of the Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau. I'll pick it up this coming Monday. I intend on doing a horizontal with this villages, the Maison LaMartine and the Georges Duboeuf. If I stay vertical and sober enough after this horizontal, I'll report the results.

Again, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I am sure that each and every one of us has something for which we can give thanks.
