My mom and dad and Berck’s dad come into town for Thanksgiving weekend. Berck and I spent all day cooking (and I cooked as much as I could ahead of time):

mashed Colorado Yukon Gold potatoes
refrigerator rolls
chocolate icebox pie
pecan pie
sauerkraut
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling
Chateau Ste. Michelle Gewürztraminer
and some of my homemade mead!

I’d thought that Jonah took a picture of this sign that proclaims that Bill Cosby eats free, but she didn’t. She did, however, take this:
