This was my lunch, a cold can of tuna.....!
I like tuna, it is good stuff. I also wanted to enjoy a great meal with my family, so I decided to eat light, skip the carbs and try to offset it all a bit.
I made everything except the appetizer and dessert, so I know what's in it all. I do not make my family "eat clean" on Thanksgiving, after all, this healthy eating stuff is my deal, not theirs.
We had a great meal, family and friends, lots of food and drink.
My brother, who is in India for a few months skyped and we "passed" him around the table on the laptop and had a good chat.
As usual, I packaged up everything for the guests to take except a little turkey and the carcass, I will make stock. My son very quietly asked me if I had saved anything, and I had not. Seems he wanted it all over again and I had given it all away!
Guess I will reproduce the same menu next year. What did we have? Here is the menu:
