Although it was an incredibly busy day for John and Jay hosting a brunch and a dinner, our Thanksgiving day celebrations were heartwarming due to the warmth and generosity of everyone who contributed to the fundraising efforts. The day started with laughter, fun, a great brunch spread, and a full service bar. It ended with an intimate dinner among friends in which we were all grateful for the family we were born with and the family we make as we pass through this life. I love these guys. Thanks John and Jay for including me, once again, in your celebrations.  |
| No detail was overlooked in preparation |
 |
| Croissant / Meyers Rum french toast to be served with a banana, pecan, brown sugar reduction. Decadent and delicious! |

| The haul: John and Jay asked everyone to bring nonperishable items to donate to the Poverello Center here in Wilton Manors. We will be busy transporting all of this food on Friday. Everyone was very generous in their contributions to those in need. |

| Insert joke here.... |
 |
| Brined, rubbed and ready for the oven. |
 |
| The finished product. Martha's got nothing on our presentation skills. And, I am not a big fan of turkey, but this ended up being one of the most delicious, moist turkeys that I have every eaten. Job well done to Jay and his brining and rubbing skills. |
 |
| Doors open, candles lit, breeze blowing. Damn I love south Florida. |

| Thanksgiving dinner by candle light followed by the GAGA Thanksgiving special. Does it get any gayer? |
