Here's something to ponder (courtesy of Bon Appetit)..."How come you never see turkey on the menus of any high-end restaurants?"
This year the O'Brien's enjoyed Thanksgiving in Vermont at the Rose's. Thanksgiving dinner was excellent (isn't it always?), but Friday's Jim Rose Italian feast was even better! The Italian relatives know how to make meatballs, sausage and gravy! Yesterday's left over lunch wasn't turkey, but rather meatball sandwiches.
I thought I'd post some video of Nick and Mitch sliding down a ridge up off of Smuggler's Notch. Winter has certainly come to Northern Vermont. There was easily a foot of new snow in the Notch, so Mitch, Nick, the dogs and I went for a hike through the notch. We had planned to summit up at Sterling Pond but we had more fun playing in the snow and hiding behind the caves made by icicle formations and sliding down the ridges. I thought about skiing one day, but the trails and sloped looked scratchy.
