Meal No. 512: Thanksgiving on the Half-Year

A few years ago, some of the crew who work at 6th & Vine lamented the fact that the Roediger House Thanksgiving leaves out folks who are normally with their families on that day. Plus, we all agreed that the traditional Thanksgiving meal is too good to only have once (at Thanksgiving) or twice (at Christmas) a year. We started doing Thanksgiving on the Half-Year, which falls conveniently on Memorial Day weekend.

Sunday night was the occasion for this year's gathering, made up mostly of people who would not be seen here for the usual November feast, and it was a delightful night with some delicious food.
