As we have done for so many years since moving to New England, Susie and I joined Uncle Frank and Aunt Cathy at Dick and Dorothy's house in Douglas, Masschusetts for a Thanksgiving meal of wonderfully delicious food and warm friendship.
This year was a even more special since we were joined by friends Andrea and her mother Barbara (a whiz with a knife, believe me) and Magali and her daughter Melodie.

| a beautiful day for lively conversation and sparkling wine |
 |
| Frank and Cathy listen in |
 |
| Andrea and Melodie swap tales |
 |
| Sister and brother |
 |
| My favorite French Tarte |
 |
| Magali, making two points. . . |
 |
| Andrea's smile tells the tale. . . |
 |
| Dorothy had everything under control |
 |
| a perfectly cooked bird who is about to meet its match |
 |
| With two physicians in the house you knew one was going to grab the knife |
 |
| mother and daughter |
While there were, as always, plenty of food options available, I have always gone for the basics: turkey, mashed-potatoes-and-gravy, roasted carrot and green beans:
 |
| Cathy spruced her plate with a bit of color |
And for dessert, the tarte's tart: a layer of caramel nut crunchies quietly hiding beneath a scrumptious chocolate ganache filling, all piled ever so gently into a chocolate tart crust shell.
 |
| Thanks, Susie! |
