a quiet thanksgiving

with our families spread out across the country and no money for travel, we opted for a quiet thanksgiving together this year. if the point was to be overstuffed, we certainly succeeded, even without the traditional turkey: appetizers, us eating our appetizers all gone, a bacon wrapped fig, half eaten, is really quite beautiful (unfortunately our recipe was not as amazing as our inspiration from Julia's thanksgiving last year), thanksgiving dinner: butternut squash soup, roasted cauliflower and polenta vegetable bake. overall, a quiet relaxing day full of napping, reading and netflix.
