Friendsgiving

Each year, my friends and I gather for "Friendsgiving." Going strong for 6 years now, this serves as a time for us to get together, eat great food and reflect on the good times we have had throughout the year. They have managed to talk me into making the turkey each year. I have to say, I think it gets better with each try I give it!

For those of you looking for a yummy beverage to serve at your Thanksgiving gathering, a friend of mine gave me an awesome Cider Sangria recipe to try. It was a big hit and oh so perfect for a cool Fall day! It looks like I will now have turkey and sangria duty for future Friendsgivings!
