friendsgiving 2020

Friendsgiving is the time to kick-off the holiday season. Pies and buns are the usual mainstays to stretch out those stomach muscles in preparation for the big turkey day. What about Friendsgiving in 2020? In the time of COVID-19, we must meet outside, exchange food in takeaway containers, and meet on Zoom later for quality time and games. Nevertheless, the turkey, stuffing/dressing (depending on where you’re from), and potatoes still have a way of making everything feel familiar. It all starts with the theme of gratitude for our chosen family. This year, we have two new players: yam pie with miso, topped with homemade vanilla bean marshmallows, and turkey broth rolls.  The perfect start for the holiday season!
