The Jetson's hosted Jane's brother for Thanksgiving. The 
menu included herb-crusted turkey breast with gravy, stuffing with cranberries and apples, green beans with carmalized onions and apple cider vinegar dressing, and twice-baked mashed potatos. All this complemented with a nice bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau 2007 that Jane's brother brought down--a tradition started last year. I had prepped the turkey the night before, placing a mixture of finely minced sage, rosemary, thyme and garlic in EVOO underneath and on top of skin and allowed it to sit in the refrigerator over night...h
mmmm it smelled good cooking. The next day the turkey was baked-off at 425 for 30 minutes and then 350 until done. The stuffing base was Stove Top with additional suateed onion and celery with craisens and appples added for a little extra tartness and sweetness. The greenbean recipe was from Rachey Ray. I thought it was the best Thanksgiving dinner yet. For dessert we had pumpkin cheesecake form Costco. It was good--better than we could've made. After an early dinner we all went to see the movie Enchanted, which was a pretty good family movie.

The next day (Black Friday) we went shopping in the morning at Tysons Galleria and in the afternoon took Astro for a long walk behing Magruder High School. It was a beautiful day, the air was crisp and the farmers were out baling hay in the fields for use in the surrounding horse farms signalling the last few days of fall. The holiday was well-appreciated as we walked through the browning grasses int
