There's Nothing Quite Like a Good Piece of Meat

Meat. You know you love it. You know you want it inside of you...(er, I mean, inside of your belly, of course). But seriously, fellow foodies (minus those of the vegetarian persuasion)--a gathering of friends and family for a holiday like Thanksgiving is simply not complete without some delicious, delightful slices of meat.

Look at this meat. Look at it. I mean, come on, it's just a thing of beauty waiting to be devoured! Which is exactly what we did as the turkey and side dishes cooked away in the afternoon of Thanksgiving. We had prosciutto, soppressata, capicola, and pepperoni from Micucci Grocery in Portland, Maine, and some ultra-decadent, home-made pork terrine wrapped in smoked bacon. Amazing.

We also indulged in some tasty cheeses and olives. Featured here are drunken goat cheese, stilton blue cheese, and a nice wedge of creamy brie.
