So, it's Thanksgiving weekend. Christof & Imola are hosting the dinner at their house in Walnut Creek.

12 hours of brining assures a juicy 12 pound turkey.

Dinner is served.

After suffering through some holiday traffic, I joined them in the afternoon.

A good cook needs good wine. And so do I.

While Christof & Imola are making their first turkey, I will use ground beef and pork to make...

...Swedish meatballs!

This will prove to be the best turkey I ever had!

While Christof is entertaining us with some of his favorite sonatas...

...Imola is making all the neccessary side dishes, such as the stuffing.

-And of course, the sweet potatoes.

I keep rolling my meatballs for the next three hours. Lotsa balls there.

Quite tasty, eh?

Some real Swedish mash to go with them as well. Good stuff, that.

Yum, yum, and again.

Joining us tonight: Maja, Eugene

Jack

Bon Apetit!
