This year our family Thanksgiving was celebrated on Saturday evening, November 23rd

| This table features china from Deruta |
As usual, Ricki invited our "family of choice" to her lovely home in San Francisco, and set another one of her spectacular tables. She took photos of her masterpiece in the afternoon after she finished.
For comparison, I found a photo of my sister-in-law Ricki's exuberant 2013 Thanksgiving table

| The first course--Sande's lovely salad with plums and persimmons |
Sande customarily creates a colorful salad with local lettuces from the farmer's market and fresh crab but this year crab season has been delayed, so she substituted a delicious, late variety of plum

I snapped some photos in the evening when we were ready to light the candles and call the
guests in to dinner
And ecologically speaking, this was a zero waste table. We can eat the centerpiece
with the leftovers. It's all organic!
