RP: Giving thanks... Date & Time: November 3, 2002 | Evening Post Type: RP Status: Open: Private Character(s): Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet Location: Katie's flat | High Street Flats, Hogsmeade Summary: Katie has her best mates over for dinner.
The Cornish hens sizzled enticingly as Katie took them out of the oven and Katie smiled. They smelt wonderful. There had been an article in Witch Weekly about North American Thanksgiving traditions. Katie had found it fascinating; especially how differently it was celebrated in Canada as opposed to the United States of America. She was pleased that a selection of recipes were included so readers could 'sample' the flavours of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Stuffing and cooking Cornish hens was more practical than making a massive turkey and Katie was eager to share them with her friends. The recipe had called for 4 hens, so she'd save one for leftovers the following evening.
Katie checked on the squash and found it almost ready to be taken out. She'd only made up acorn squash and green beans, even though there were recipes for several sides in the magazine. Pumpkin pie was a traditional dessert, but Angelina had specifically requested chocolate, so Katie had made a chocolate cheesecake with a pumpkin swirl running through it. It looked marvellous.
She hummed happily to herself as she set the hens on a cooling rack. Angelina and Alicia would be arriving soon. She'd elected not to serve appetizers as the main course would be quite heavy. She walked into the dining room and lit the long candles on the table. Perfect, she thought happily.
