cattitude.
The feasting (as distinct from ordinary food while visiting) started yesterday with a chocolate pecan pie. The basic recipe is something Adrian found in the NY Times, modified by using coconut oil instead of butter, and with the work shared around. Parts of the process were frustrating, but the pie is good. We had a little last night, more after dinner tonight, and there will be some left for tomorrow or Friday.
Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, so Adrian made latkes for dinner. They were quite tasty; we had a sausage each with them, by way of protein.
Tomorrow we will have the traditional turkey, and the traditional cranberry-orange relish (ideally without the part where we leave it in the refrigerator until halfway through dinner), and so on.
I had gotten confused about the whole Thanksgiving-on-Hanukkah thing, and thought tomorrow was the first night, in which case it would have been too complicated to combine the holiday feasts, but latkes and turkey on consecutive days isn't difficult.
