As we previously mentioned, this year Just The Dip decided to host it's very own Friendsgiving. We set the date one week before Canadian Thanksgiving and sent out a Paperless Post to some of the wonderful people in our lives. All we asked was for everyone to dress wedding fresh and bring one dish to share. Let's be real, our friend group is way too big for us to feed everyone and not go into debt.
Day of, we slaved away in the kitchen (to view all the dishes click here) and created one of the best table settings we've ever had the pleasure of sitting down to. No seriously, we're still in awe. There is an amazing flower market near Kim's condo, so we used lots of fall flowers, decorative gourds, gathered every last candle we owned, and even went out and foraged pine needles.
We also decided to craft a pumpkin cooler for the hell of it. (We are grown, independent women who love to DIY and shouldn't have to explain this). We carved the top 1/3 of the pumpkin off, scooped out the guts and seeds, stuck a bowl inside, and then added ice + beer. Not only did it look great but was a simple as roasting the pumpkin seeds afterward. We highly recommend it.
Needless to say, Friendsgiving was a hit. And while every time we get together always guarantees lots of laughs, a high consumption of alcohol and food, this time just felt really special. We love all these idiots who we call our friends. Below is just a few photos of the table setting and polaroids from the night. We hope this inspires you to also host your very own Friendsgiving in the future!
