Thanksgiving dinner

OK it was wasn't canonical (for some value of matches advice in 1950s women's magazines) but it was rather good. We had:

Roast pork leg with crackling (pig from the Hungarian Pig Guys)
Sauerkraut cooked with onion, apple and white wine
Lemony roast potatoes
Baked russet apples
Brussels sprouts

... and a very decent bottle of Alsatian Gewurztraminer.

Thanksgiving

So it's Thanksgiving Monday and the temperature is an unseasonably warm 20C or so. What is one to do?

First find the nearest available Autoshare Mini Cooper convertible and snaffle it.

Then drive off into the countryside and take pictures of fall foliage.

Actually the real plan was to go for a hike on the escarpment but both Rattlesnake and Hilton Falls had long lineups of cars trying to get in so we headed up towards Terra Cotta and managed to find somewhere a bit less crazy.

It doesn't get much better than belting along in a convertible with Stan Rogers playing full bore on the stereo.
