Friends Thanksgiving: your official notice!

11/19, 7pm. Friends Thanksgiving 2005. Everything and the kitchen sink.

For the last 4 years (really? It's been that many? Yes, yes it has...) John and I have been throwing a massive dinner party before Thanksgiving -- a time for all of our friends to get together, eat (read: showcase John's culinary talents), and make merry all the night long.

This year, the menu includes:
* the turkey (the one that uses about 12 pounds of butta)
* the stuffing (the kind that goes IN the turkey, with the apples and sausage in it? mmmm...)
* the sweet potatoes (my very own, filled with nutty, brown sugary, orange-y goodness.)
* corn with chived sweet cream butter (mmmm... made this earlier in the fall, soo good.)
* holiday rolls (hurray! I found my great-grandma's recipe)
* colcannon (irish mashed potatoes with carrots and cabbage in them)
* cranberry sauce (no, not the stuff that comes can-shaped... eww.)
* potentially, potato dumplings (if there's enough demand)
* that buttery gravy john makes
* a couple of apple pies, a pecan pie, a couple of pumpkin pies with some home-made whipped cream ice cream for dessert

If you're a friend (and you know who you are), you're invited!
Bring:
* yourself, and your significant other, should you be in possession of one
* your own adult beverage to share; milk, water and mulled wine provided (you may also tap into the vast Haggerty liquor reserves)
* if you would like, an appetizer to share with the crowd

Dinner at 7:30; come early to get the best appetizes and seat at the table!
RSVP is greatly appreciated!
