Free-Range Roast Turkey.

Cornbread Dressing.

Cranberry Sauce.

Sautéed Green Beans

Morelia Style Gazpacho with Spinach Salad.

It's the Gazpacho that gives it away: These are the fixin's for the Thanksgiving table today at Camp David, where President Bush has retreated with his family for the holiday. An overcast, wintry pall had settled over the capital, and then the sky broke, with Thanksgiving dawning cold and clear. Up in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland, where the presidential retreat once known as Shangri-La sits, the dinner table will be brimming with more than one dish of mashed potatoes today.....

Pass the Zucchini Gratin.

Whipped Maple Sweet Potatoes

Buttered Mashed Potatoes

Giblet Gravy

and Fresh Clover Rolls with Honey Butter

and you've got the makings for a good long walk.

followed by:

Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Topping

Apple Pie

Pumpkin Mousse Trifle

Fresh Fruit Platter

And then, call it a night.
