    We were lucky enough to spend Nora’s first Thanksgiving at Marc & Margarete’s with the whole Cassalina clan, which is just about as good as having our own family around, but we realized meant no leftovers at our house, and missing some of our favorite foods, so we decided to have a second Thanksgiving on…
