Pigs in a blanket on Thanksgiving?!?!?!?

Thanksgiving Eve has become its own little holiday. We all gather at Aunt Trudy's to help her prepare what becomes more of a 7 course meal to be enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day. The "Eve" is so important that I have even begun to prepare The Baccaray Thanksgiving feast on the Eve of Thanksgiving Eve just so I can still partake in the festivities at Aunt Trudy's. Such things prepared are stuffing, mashed and sweat pototoes, stuffed mushrooms, baked clams and so much more. The highlight of the evening is the preparation of our annual antipasto contest. The teams are Laura & David Jr, Nicole & Annemarie, and finally Sarah & Danielle. This year David and I made a black pilgrims hat using black olives as our main ingredient. Sarah & Danielle won the gold medal this year making "Guitar Hero" out of their antipasto. It was very creative. Hailey, Andrew and Blake also helped out this year preparing pigs in blankets for all to enjoy which raises the question, Did the Pilgrims & Indians eat pigs in a blanket on the 1st Thanksgiving? I don't think so!
