I don't recall ever having "gone out" for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a bit strange not to compete in the famous Imbiorski "I make the best cucumber and onions with sourcream and dill" contest but somehow we managed. We had one of out favorite meals in a little restuarant that our host from the agriturismo made us reservations at...one seating at 8:00 pm...sharp! We wandered the streets of the small village admiring the various shops, doorknobs, little doors, and narrow passageways. Waiting until that late to eat had us all pretty ravenous so we ordered Tagliatelle with White Truffles, Pienza's reknowned Pici with Ragu Sauce, Succulent Roast Pork, Duck with Wine, Filet of Beef, Vanilla Gelato with Chocolate Sauce and Homemade Hazelnut Ice Cream. A bottle of the House Red and a snippet of Grappa to toast our thankfullness for all of our friends and family made for a very warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving meal.
