Thanksgiving 2022
We celebrated Thanksgiving with assorted Burleighs, Regners, and their allies.
Sarah and I started the day by running in the Ferncliff Forest Turkey Trot. Sarah finished sixth in her age bracket, and I finished seventh in mine, behind first-place finisher Malcolm Gladwell.
We spent the next nine hours in the kitchen. This year’s turkey, a heritage breed from Northwind Farm, was prepared using Helen Rosner’s cold-oven technique. It was labor-intensive but resulted in a handsome bird.
Sarah brought her race-day intensity into the kitchen.
Erica and Geoff contributed vegetarian fare.
Geoff also made many pies.
Sadly, we had no hickory nut pie this year — but we did have apple, peach, pumpkin, squash, blueberry, and pecan, resulting in a > 1:2 pie/person ratio.
There was plenty of time for visiting.
Lew was in fine spirits.
Lewis brought MaryAnn to meet the family. She was great company, and we hope she was not frightened off.
Daisy remained hopeful throughout the holiday. As usual, her patience was rewarded with various treats.
