Thanksgiving Miscellaneous

Now that I've started working on our Christmas Eve and Day menus, I need to wrap up Thanksgiving with a final post. We enjoyed dining at several different places in Asheville before we put on the feedbag for Thanksgiving. Sugar was top of our list!

We enjoyed pie flights at a local bakery... and beer at a historic pub!

While checking out the shops and eateries in downtown Asheville...

we spied these attached to the sides of some buildings.

On Turkey Day, we chose to whip up our own dinner, enjoying the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV where we saw one of the high school bands from our Texas hometown marching. And then we officially kicked off Christmas that afternoon by watching The Holiday after gorging ourselves into food comas.

The pic above and below are significant, mainly because we all LOVED the layout of the kitchen area. It had a large island, adjacent sitting area AND television mounted on the wall so we could all cook, sit, visit and watch the parade, game, etc. It was all very handy and the girls have declared this arrangement a must for our lake house.
