Thanksgiving

That pie sounds wonderful.

We had leftovers and it was very good. We had Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry salad, my moms stuffing, my uncles stuffing, yams, a little gravy, broccoli casserole, my sister made a pumpkin pie for us, it all was very good. My son cheered up when we were eating. It was good to see him smile.

At both thanksgiving there was a lot of political talk. Everyone is on the same side so it worked out. The first dinner on Wednesday was a lot better. Everything was gluten free and gluten free stuff tastes pretty good. Especially like bread. My brother in law deep fried the turkey. The second one was just generic. Nothing special except my aunt made twice baked sweet potato's with goat cheese.

Thank you. But that is my brother. That just means I can drop him like a hot potato now. The fool.. he needs me a lot more than I need him.

Yeah...I've been in that situation. It's not fun - but it can be something of a relief.

Kathryn really cooked a great turkey stuffed it with onions and lemons, she also stuffed the top layer of skin over the breast with garlic and other spices. IT was delicious. oh and had bacon on the top of it. she took it out of the oven and let it rest while she was fixing potatoes, brussel sprouts on the stick, never have I seen that before. Her home made gravy was delicious.
my green bean casserole was a hit. And the cranberry relish that I got from the deli at the fresh market I went to whole foods to pick up some beer. and saw some lingonberries in a jar and decided to add that to the cranberries. It was delicious. We got a compliment the next day from rob and his wife loved it(she is a nurse and had to work)so katherine packed up a to go container for her.
she had made figgy pudding, with carmel topping from scratch, very english type of dessert and turkey as well.
We were all stuffed we left around 9;30pm got there at 3.She had cheese and exotic salami and proshetto, olives for appetizers.
She was the perfect hostess. She served a different campaign with dessert. rob had brought an apple pie which was delicious. but I was so overly full. I was miserable.came home and got ready for bed at 10pm.
I kept waking up stiffling a cough would drink a bottled water then go to the bathroom to pee then fill up the water bottle and go back to bed cough then drink entire water bottle get up pee etc...I did this all night it seemed jeff got up at 7;30, I got out of bed at 1 am. had a cup of coffee, still in my jammies. going to take a shower jeff is meeting the guys at "twin peaks" like a hooters for lunch at 1pm.
I need to call katherine and compliment her again on the outstanding meal.
must get going

I had a great Thanksgiving with my family. My sister made turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, garlic green beans, rolls, corn. Plus she made a pumpkin pie, and a key lime pie. And also for appetizers there were deviled eggs, crackers with fresh blue cheese/raspberry preserves, other cheeses, prosciutto and salami rolled with cheese, some olives, black olives, cashews and other nuts. And we decorated these cookies she got from a friends bakery. They were autumn themed like turkey shaped, leaf shaped, acorn shaped, etc. I had a delicious cup of espresso with a frothed top from her new Nespresso coffee machine.

She sent me home with a ton of leftovers and a whole thing of eggnog. I got to see one of my nephews that I hadn't seen for a very long time. It was great being with family. We had a lot of laughs. Oh yeah, I got to see Maybelle again, their cat that's coming to live with me sometime next month. She's a torti and is so beautiful, she's an adorable little cat. And I got to see their huge yellow lab Zeus, he's a goofy dog, lots of fun.

It sounds like you had a spectacular day. How exciting about Maybelle! Aw, I'm looking forward to seeing a pic of her.

I hope this pic doesn’t post sideways like they usual do but here’s a pic I have of her

Aw, she's a smart cat. I'm a cat person from way back when, and Maybelle is the kind that will be loyal and devoted to you and to her home. She's beautiful, too.

she is turning into a torti! ours is also. she is very friendly to us shy to others.
she can be very demanding about affection. She loves to come love on me when I am in the bathroom on the toilet. yes we keep our doors open.
when I am getting dressed or taking off clothes she is always there to play around in my uniforms or nuzzle my shoes. It is really funny.
Her name is hallie.

Darn it... for the second time in a year.. I fractured a tooth. I mean, I lost 1/2 the tooth.

The last one require a root canal, a crown and like 50 visits. At least this year I have good insurance.

Oh, no! That is such a bad feeling. Great that you have dental insurance, though.
