Friday 25 November
Everyone was a mite languid today, especially those who headed out at midnight for the Black Friday sales and didn't get back until the wee hours. The Shaffers had to head for home early, so as we were in charge of dinner, we served it at midday.
We started with big bowls of turkey soup we'd made from the carcass that Dora hadn't jumped in the night before, cooked slowly in our traditional fashion with onion, peppercorns, and sage the previous evening, now livened up with diced zucchini. Dora enjoyed supervising, played nicely with any bit of paper she found, and made friends with everyone.
The second course was our homemade pesto on linguine. There was also a big salad with bag-ripened tomatoes and sliced cucumber, keeping it light after all the holiday indulgences. That didn't stop anyone from hitting the dessert buffet afterwards, however.
