Thanksgiving

Instead of heading to the local Sea Farerers club for a traditional Thanksgiving buffet, which we thought would offer an impersonal, poor imitation of Thanksgiving, we hosted a non-traditional, but very thankful meal at our house the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We re-arranged our house in order to fit our ten guests but everyone was sitting, and no one was on the floor! We made lots of tasty treats with an autumnal theme, though not necessarily "Thanksgiving".  Below is our menu from the night and a couple photos.

Drinks
Apple juice, pear juice, cinnamon juice and soju cocktail
wine! (thanks everyone)

Appetizers
red lentil roasted squash dip
roasted garlic and tomato dip
roasted red pepper hummus
crackers/bread/carrots

Main
roasted broccoli, pumpkin seed, green olive salad
carrot, apple, almond, tofu salad (thanks Craig!)
cream cheese mashed potatoes (thanks Christina!)
chickpea burgers with sweet potato and kale
creamed onions

Dessert
pumpkin cake
banana bread ice-cream (homemade by James, dairy free!)

Everyone gathered round.

Our friends Christina and Brittany. You can see the Christmas tree that I just put up, left behind by the previous tenants.
