Happy Thanksgiving! Yeah, I know I'm a day late, but it's the thought that counts. I was worn out last night, so I couldn't bring myself to write about the day's events. All in all, it was a quiet Thanksgiving for us. We stayed home and had our "Big Feast" (as Big A calls it). I actually cooked the entire thing-- that is a feat in itself, because I am not the best chef. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. Of course, I did not cook a turkey-- I don't eat meat (other than seafood), and the girls' idea of turkey is deli sliced. So that is exactly what they got-- deli sliced turkey! And it was a big hit! I made -- broccoli casserole, green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato souffle ( I have to admit, I bought that already prepared), cranberry sauce, honey pecan crusted salmon (for me), dinner rolls, apple pie (frozen), pumpkin pie (also frozen). The frozen pies took forever to bake, but were actually very good. Any way, after a couple of hours cooking, the girls wolfed their food down in about 10 minutes. And that was that.
I have to say though, that it was nice just to be able to stay home. No traffic, no stressful family gatherings, just a peaceful meal and a relaxing afternoon. That is something to be thankful for!
