On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment – halftime. ~Author Unknown The funny thing about Thanksgiving, or any huge meal, is that you spend 12 hours shopping for it and then chopping and cooking and braising and blanching. Then it takes 20 minutes to eat it and everybody sort of sits around in a food coma, and then it takes four hours to clean it up. ~Ted Allen May your stuffing be tasty Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often. ~Johnny Carson Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P.

Lauren and Matthew couldn’t have picked a more idyllic setting on a more beautiful Santa Barbara day to celebrate their wedding with family and friends. The whole intimate affair was on a lush private family estate in Santa Barbara. After a heartwarming outdoor ceremony, the guests were treated to specialty cocktails chosen by the couple – Appletinis and Chocolate Martinis. Also, a lovely selection of passed hors d’oeuvres kept the tummys from grumbling while family pictures were taken and the guests mingled. Since most of the guests were family and close personal friends of the family, one got the sense that this was also a family reunion with lots of animated chatter and laughter. Once the dining space was ready, we invited the guests around to the the back garden for dinner and dancing. The menu was robust with carved to order New York Sirloin with Horseradish and Cabernet Sauce, Herb Roasted Chicken with Lemon Thyme Jus, Sun-dried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta, Roasted Asparagus Spears, Classic Caesar Salad, and Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette. The servers offered both red and white wines to the guests during dinner and poured a lovely sparkling wine for the Champagne Toast after the guests were seated and enjoying the feast.
