thanksgiving in connecticut just feels right. massachussettes' preppy neighbor has the burnt-sienna leaves, crisp fall air and a bit of that old world quiet. if you look hard enough, you may even find a pilgram hat that blew over the border. the menu this year was a little bit rebellious. every dish had a spicy or herbal twist. laughing with family, pretending to care about football, eating four two many pieces of pie, suffering from p.t.b.f.d [pre traumatic black friday disorder]. what's not to love about turkey day.
