Absolute crap scam rip-off pizza from Bella Pausa, Prague - it was supposed to have mozzerella and instead I just received tomato soup - they even had the audacity to charge a 79 CZK couvert - I guess they know folks wont return to their establishment anyways - horrid, horrid, horrid

Unless I am out of the country, I never eat Thanksgiving in a restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was.
Kale & yam salad
Arancini & Wagyu meatballs
The main event
Pumpkin cheesecake & carrot cake (devoured before I thought of a photo)

My typical Thanksgiving dinner, a savory homemade Pumpkin Soup followed by seared Magret Duck Breast, homemade Grand Marnier Ginger Cranberry sauce, green beans and stuffing paired with a 2022 Bourgogne

Yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner.
Missing are the appetizers, shrimp cocktail and deviled eggs.
There were homemade cranberry sauce and relish.
The turkey dry brining. The rub consisted of Diamond Kosher Salt and La Bote Isphahan spice blend (limon omani, green cardamom, sliced garlic, coriander, basil and spices).
The turkey resting before being carved
Kale, fennel and apple salad
Sweet potatoes
Cornbread stuffing
Corn pudding
Blue Lake stringless string beans with preserved lemon and crispy shallots
Left to right, pecan pie, cinnamon and chocolate whipped creams (I know, I know, I'm a purist), pumpkin pie, cranberry curd tart (lots more on this one in the "Vent" thread), fruit salad.
P.S. Oops, I forgot the mashed potatoes. I didn't take a picture, but they were yummy.

Vera, Ljubljana - the crust was very good but I was less enthused about the toppings - maybe I should skip pizza for a day!
