After all that prep, it’s time for a feat. Leiden’s first thanksgiving.
It all starts bright and early.
Family gathers
The long table is set.
The turkey comes out of the oven.
Feast time.
Sweet tooth between generations.

This year we perfected the brining operation using Thomas Keller’s recipe from the French Laundry. 48 hours lead time is worth it.
Look at that bird! Crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside.
We also made cranberry sauce.
And stuffing with fresh chestnuts and dried cherries.
And pies
Then came the family and the feast.
The licking of the beater was the best part!
