Happy Thanksgivikkah

As I mentioned this week's Project 365 post, for the first time ever, the boy and I hosted Thanksgiving.
We tried to divide and conquer our dishes, so while I made stuffing, green beans, and pumpkin pie he did the gumbo, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, and truffle butter crostinis. On top of that my MIL & FIL brought turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, and a pecan pie, while my SIL brought sweet potatoes and rolls.
This was the first time I attempted making the oyster stuffing I grew up eating, and while it may not have been perfect, it didn't reminded me of Thanksgivings past.
On the topic of new dishes, I also made a gingerbread crust for the first time. I've made pumpkin pie several times, but always with a store bought crust. And again, while the crust may not have been perfect, it sure was delicious. (Recipe to come tomorrow!) Especially when topped with homemade whipped cream.
Since this was no ordinary night, I ended things lighting the menorah with my attempt at "Thanksgiving-y" colors. For one final photos, here's a shot of some of Thanksgiving guests finishing up their dessert.
Where did you spent your Thanksgiving? Did you attempt any new dishes this year?
