I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! I certainly did. I woke up early to start the cooking - making stuffing, getting the bird ready and started, and then doing the cleaning I hadn't accomplished the day before. (All but one room were swept, dusted and cleaned; of course, the room that I didn't get to was the living room.) The cheesecakes (that's right, I gave my guests cheesey-cake options) were made, and I had everything planned. Then the folks showed up right as my co-worker called for directions, Daddo pronounced the bird done early (350 instead of 325, oops!) and the potatoes weren't boiling. So it was a little crazy in the final moments, but Momola and I work well together in the kitchen, Daddo calmed down as soon as we gave him some knives to sharpen (grumble, grumble, distract with shiny objects), and all ended just fine. We sat down with good food, good wine, and chatted our way through turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, homemade gravy (yay me!), asparagus, cranberry sauce, bread, and finally, cake. Whew.
We toasted to a good meal and a happy holiday, but I've actually been thinking about what I was thankful for this year. I'm thankful for an entirely happy year, one in which family figured largely, and new friends were made. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family.
