Isabella and Thanksgiving in Brooklyn



In Isabella's heart beats the disco pulse of a Laker fan, but currently she is rooting for the Knicks, as this photo, taken at the Knicks' thumping by the Orlando Magic, attests.

A few days earlier, Belly hosted her boy friend Kian and some adults they both know to her house for Thanksgiving. Here she is saying: "I'm so delighted you could come to my home, Kian. Of course we are pleased that your parents were able to attend as well."



It's nice that all the rooms at the Plotnik East Apartment Estates are large enough to host a good-sized party. Kian's dad John took this picture as well as the previous one. Going around the table we can see The Greats PD, Chris (Large), DC Niecie, FiveHead, Mo-Nee, BZWZ and Kian's mom Lizzz.



Here's what the turducken looked like before it was cooked. Inside that turkey is a duck, a chicken, cornbread stuffing, crayfish, shrimp and oysters. We kid you not. Another turkey is staring at it.



Don't have an after-cooked photo, but early reports indicate the turkey and the chicken tasted pretty much the same while the duck was outstanding. The Great Plotnik wants to know exactly which pieces of this aviary overload were tasted by the Great FiveHead, once a vegetarian, now into birds. Lots of birds.

They had collard greens.



They had apple pie.



They apparently also had pecan pie with home-made bourbon ice cream (!)(!) but the photo was truncated. Yow!

Plotnik has taken the liberty of enlarging one of the plates of food at the Plotnik East Thanksgiving. He has to give it extra points for beauty, color contrasts and deliciousness.



But for sheer gluttony, can it compare to Plotnik's own perfectly balanced (by weight) plate? You've got to admit, that turkey leg is a beautiful touch.



Also, only the SoCal Thanksgiving got one of these:

What fun ~ loved the Brooklyn table. My friend in Santa Barbara was serving the Turducken too. I'd like to try it once.

Hopefully rooting for the Knicks doesn't lead to lasting damage, but this is dangerous territory. I think if you start putting seafood into a turducken, you've got to call it something else. Turduckencrust?

Your plate looks good but the pecan pie with bourbon ice cream would have to win.
