The Eibls' First Thanksgiving

Just wanted to quickly share our menu for the weekend. I will post pictures of everything throughout December so be on the lookout for those posts. Once I make a menu like this I will email it to myself and to Patrick so that we are both aware of our upcoming meals. It's also helpful because, since we always have smartphones handy, if I'm in the kitchen starting to cook something but have forgotten what to do next, I can ask Patrick to access the recipe from the email link! Most of the menu items are hyperlinked. Patrick and I are looking forward to celebrating our first Thanksgiving together! 

We are planning to have a quiet Thanksgiving together and then my parents will arrive Friday afternoon in anticipation of the Blues Rivalry football game Saturday. That's right, folks, Patrick and I are going to the Duke @ UNC football game together! Traditionally these two teams play Thanksgiving weekend and we look forward to making this an annual Eibl Family tradition. Since my parents are coming Friday we decided to have a smaller meal Thursday (but still having turkey) and then have a larger, more elaborate meal on Friday complete with appetizers and dessert!

  3. Back home and let me tell you - the holiday menu was as good as it sounded. Everything was delicious. And they used so many serving dishes, glasses, and gifts they had gotten as wedding presents. It was wonderful!
