Friends join together to feast
'F
riendsgiving' is a tradition steeped in camaraderie with a healthy dose of family to balance it out. Hosts and homeowners Matt and Heather Hiller of Muskogee are supremely welcoming upon entering their recently remodeled household. Their chic but comfortable abode is ideal for occasions such as this. The Hillers are enthusiastic to show off their renovation and eager to entertain "We are glad to gather once again," Heather said. "Actually, I'd like to edit that: We are grateful to safely gather together once
again." Like many functions, the annual get-together of these longtime friends has been delayed for the past two years. Since this group is now fully vaccinated, they were ready to reassemble and reconnect in person. It was clear to the casual observer that even though having been apart, their connections were still strong. Putting together this fantastic feast was not the work of just one but a collaboration of all. From the appetizers to the dessert course, the food for the Hiller Friendsgiving was a combination of traditional and modern fare.
