Thanksgiving Weekend

Around here we like a good turkey sandwich. So for lunch on Friday we had potato leek soup along with our bread and turkey. Our sandwich fixings included:
brie, Dubliner, or cheddar cheese
bacon
potato chips
mustard, mayo, or cranberry sauce. Everyone crafted masterpieces to their liking.

The big kids went with our guests to the park in the afternoon. They found two dead fish.We made our own pasta for dinner. I made the dough under Anja's instruction. Steve grated about 2 lbs of cheese. We had some bacon-wrapped scallops for appetizers.Steve and Anja rolled out the noodles with some help from Nora. My dad was in charge of the water pot while I cooked up some bacon. When everything was cooked Anja tossed while I added ingredients and we had perfect carbonara.Helena really liked the fresh noodles. On Saturday morning we had brunch at Mimmu and Iso's house and helped decorate the Christmas tree and put up lights outside.
