Southern Thanksgiving

Don and Lindy came to visit from Alaska. Since they flew in on Thanksgiving Day, we decided to have a low key dinner at the house. On the menu:
Oysters Rockefeller *my first time shucking oysters!* broiled with chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese.
 Served with lemon, Tabasco, and butter on the side - they were gone very quickly




Chicken and Andouille gumbo - I apologize for the picture :(








Crawfish and sausage cornbread dressing









I forgot to take a picture of the bread pudding with whiskey sauce - it looked like the one I made last year.

 I tried to play with some of my ingredients for centerpieces. I liked the cranberries and lemon. I love the bamboo stem (from Ikea :))

We ate, drank, and had leftovers to take to work the next few days.
