On Monday 11th October, Andrew and Kate hosted the dinner with the theme Thanksgiving. Co-incidentally, it was actually Thanksgiving in Canada on that date. All dishes needed to be appropriate to a North American (or, ideally, Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner.
Mains
The thanksgiving spread consisted of a roast turkey (of course) cooked by Kate, stuffing by Andrew, a mandarin salad by Andrew, yam and marshmallow casserole by Pam, mashed potatoes by Pam, and succotash by Pam. There was also the obligatory cranberry sauce and gravy to accompany things.
Dessert
Franca started dessert with caramel apples …
… and then finished up with a glorious pumpkin pie and mugs of mulled apple cider.
