Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends. I hope tomorrow is filled with good conversation, even better food, and maybe even a satisfying afternoon nap! Both of our families are in town and we've spent today trekking all over Brooklyn gathering up ingredients.

Last Friday, I picked up a few stunning dried flower arrangements from The River Garden to decorate our table. The next time you're at Union Square Greenmarket, swing by their display. Their beautiful dried flowers can last up to a year, depending on the variety, and the owner is incredibly personable.
