It was Thanksgiving and Matt Traylor came by
as Suzanne
was beginning to prepare various cranberry dishes
while her helpers
began making cupcakes
and the turkey basket appeared
and the picture of what the cupcakes were supposed to look like inspired
the gathering of ingredients
mixing of ingredients
as they were measured.
We began toasting the bread
with a break to look at the orange juice
and then the package
with the contents
and the greeting
as the chocolate
was mixed
and the toasting continued
as the onions were prepared
which Matt and Jane watched
and the first cupcakes emerged
as the mixture was tasted
and the toasting continued
until the crusts were cut off
the bread was watered and squeezed
and moved to its new home
and just as the process was completing
Justin appeared
as Matt spoke with Geofferson
and more cupcakes emerged from the oven
which seemed to bring Ben to life
and the vegetable broth was added to the bread and onion mix
which was then stirred
as Jane began the washing
and Suzanne continued the process of making things
and dirtying dished
which inspired Matt to check out with the books he'd been loaned.
The stuffing continued
as did the cupcakes
when the mixer went into full bore mode
|
as we studied Lucy's mother's recipe (or a copy thereof)
and got the Hershey's syrup ready
with the bundt pan
and after the washing
we were ready to pour the mixture into the pan
|
so that the caramel for the cupcakes (round 1) was being made
and the chocolate cake was ready for the oven
as the multi colored radishes were cut
and some foods appeared
to keep the caramel making effort going
even as the vegetarian meatball sandwiches were made
and the cupcakes
waited for the caramel
as the bundt cake
and cupcakes
alternated attention
as Jane
and Suzanne
admired the prepared desserts
and relish tray
and so we were ready to go to the Kramers for Thanksgiving and assemble by the table
and then in the living room as Suzanne
Ben
and Peter posed
and the others gathered
for a group picture of the Kramer family
|
and then these pictures of Renee and her mother
before we bade farewell of Seva and Peter
with a final negotiation about who was to take what food.
