Thanksgiving with the Hanlons
Did we mention that the Hanlons are great
cooks? Well they are! We accept invitations regularly to their place, and
did not hesitate when they invited us for Thanksgiving dinner in
2005.
On the left is a sample plate: this was very good food!
On the right, the table before the throng arrived, and the food before the
throng was served!
Food and decor are obviously key to Thanksgiving dinner. But people count
too! We had almost the entire family (Tom was with his
grandparents), and the Hanlons had other friends of theirs.
We start, as ever, with the little guys, here Brendan,
Alex and Charlie. As yet, they appreciate the food
aspect of such gatherings a little less, and the look on Charlie's face probably
reflects being forced to leave the video games upstairs!
If you check out the photo on the left carefully, you can see the frame below
to the right. It is the mirror in the buffet, below the hutch, in the upper left
part of the photo. Alban, Daphné
and Nick were opposite the
little guys, watching them as
the photo was taken. A full frontal photo of the three of them can be found
here.
There's a great shot of the five women at dinner
here, and a cute one of Nick and Alex
here.
But pride of place here must go to the hard-working chef, on the right with
his mom, visiting from Florida for Thanksgiving.
Thanks Russ! Thanks Annie! As ever at your place, a great meal!
