Thanksgiving at the Deli-Subs . . .

I got to explore a new part of the country this Thanksgiving with the Deli-Subs move to Minnesota. I heard many tales of cold and misery there, but found the weather to be quite nice. I think they make up the stories so all the people from California don't move there.

The Thankful Tree is an annual tradition at the Deli-Subs. . .


A Cinderella pumpkin (from the Farmer's Market)

This year, Mom Bread decided to make it the best tree so far so she sent Dad Bread and Pickle on a hunting expedition for the perfect tree.



Mom Bread and I spent all of Wednesday cooking for the big feast. I think Tomato felt a little neglected and tried everything she could to be noticed.


Finally, the big day arrived. The guests arrived . . . Cheese and Tomato were in charge of entertainment.

Mom Bread made her famous rolls.

Dad Bread made his famous cobbler (and didn't burn down the house, much to the surprise of his grandmother).


A good time was had by all!

I think I might be stealing the Thankful Tree as well...always looking for someone else to have a good idea to pass off as my own! Plus, it can be done anywhere we go in the world! Perfect.

Looks fun guys - I agree with Daph about the Minnesota weather - we thought it was gorgeous when we were there. And I agree with everyone else about being grateful for a new post!

It is -25 F. Those Californians might be on to something.

Looks like you had a great time. I miss the Deli Family and your post makes me want to take another very, very long road trip.
Oh, we do a Thankful tree too only it rotates between siblings. Fun to see what the sister who had it last year added.
