Thanksgiving in Cutchogue
Thanksgiving in Cutchogue is a four day affair beginning Wednesday evening and ending Sunday afternoon. The last four years, Kara, Katherine and Bernard have been a constant. We have our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday as a tradition which gives us plenty of time to make the pies and everything else that can be made ahead. We play lots of games the favorites being long-jump chinese checkers, scrabble and bocce ball in the backyard if weather permits and this year it was beautiful. Bernard and I have our annual chess tournament when the girls go shopping at the Tanger Mall, and yes, there is plenty of time. This year they left to shop at 10 am and got back at 4:30 pm. Don't know how they do it, just glad I'm not there! They all got neat stuff, the best being Kara's opera dress. So pretty. Saturday evening after the shopping we had a fondue dinner, the wine supplied by Bruce from afar. The wine was a most unusual wine, an elderberry wine from a Kansas vintner, not sweet, very dry with just a hint of berry. It paired perfectly with the fondue of which we all ate too much.
