For the last five or six years Dan and I have had Thanksgiving dinner at the NC State University Club where we are members. It has become a tradition, and each year we invite family or friends to join us Yesterday we invited Dan's son Malcolm.
I did my graduate work at NC State and as an alumna I and my extended family are eligible for membership in the Club, and we have been members for about fifteen years now. The Club has just undergone a major renovation, completely redoing the lobby and the main dining room.

Among advantages of membership is the opportunity to partake of their wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. It is always good.

After a fruit salad, I chose for my entree turkey (dark meat) two kinds of dressing, cranberry sauce, collards, sweet potato casserole, and squash casserole. All were good.
There was a vast array of desserts including pecan pie, pumpkin pie, several different cakes, and several different cheesecakes. I chose a small spiced pumpkin cake. I had my pumpkin pie and rum cake later in the day at home.

We enjoy our membership in the University Club all year round, but especially at Thanksgiving.
