I didn't want to embarrass my friend in Annapolis who had us for Thanksgiving dinner by posting the details of the meal on my blog. That's how you make sure you don't get invited next year. But I did want to post a photo of the table setting because I thought it was beautiful and unusual for Thanksgiving. Instead of gourds or dried corn or whatever, for her centerpiece she used four mismatched containers placed in a row filled with flowers and -- I love this -- ornamental kale. It's an idea worth stealing.
