House~ma Deena.

I'm in relax mode until more people get here. Ah. Wine good.

House~ma, house~ma, house~ma.

Happy Thanksgiving, dears!

Deena, that's a beautiful home. If you want it, I hope you can have it.

Jess, I always think of you at Thanksgiving, because your posts and LJ entries always whet my appetite.

Jars, I think you cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for your neighbor is one of the truest examples of Love thy neighbor I can remember seeing. I know that people who didn't grow up with a Thanksgiving holiday don't always get our extreme devotion to it. That can't be said of you. What a lovely, lovely gesture.

Aimee, I hope you can use your drains, soon. How frustrating. I hope you, MM, Em, and your guests have a lovely Thanksgiving, and that you can look back on the rest of this as a laugh, sooner than later.

-t, it's so good to see you here. Love to you, Henry, and lucky Walter. Happy Thanksgiving, sweetie.

juliana, you have had a hellish year, yet you remain a constant light in the darkness. Today (and everyday) may you know how much and how well you are loved. Please pass my love to your hosts, in the form of a big sloppy kiss, and too-long hug.

Maidengurl, I hope you feel better honey, and that time with a good meal and good people feels better than you expected. I don't blame your family for wanting you there, but I would totally understand if you stayed home in bed. If you go/since it seems you're going, I hope, in the end, that you're glad you went.

Cindy! Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful post.

Indeed, I've missed seeing you around Cindy. Thanks for the lovely post!

Daniel, I did call, but I called my brother and told him to pick some up on the way over. Hee. So, we have beer, 2 different bottles of bubbly and for after dinner, an orange muscat dessert wine.

Daniel, I never thought of that, but you're right, that is a little unprotected. I think I could fix it pretty easily, though.

Yes, peasy.

My mind is infected by the Buffistas.

I could have sworn the christmas music at the grocery store just now said "...and I bought some porn while shopping."

I guess in that case, there really is no place to go...

Happy turkey day, buffistas!

I have consumed my Marie Calendar's turkey tv dinner and two pieces of my miniature pumpkin pie. Now I'm watching Finding Nemo and in honor of the day, I'm eating only orange and brown M&M minis.

Happy ritual sacrifice with pie day everybody.

We had a small Thanksgiving

Most of the food was just good thanksgiving food - worth eating, but not worth describing.. But I tried something different with the sweet potatoes and they really worked out well this year. I just covered them with a glaze that consisted of 1 tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of honey per pound of sweet potato. When they were near done, I added two heaping tablespoons of raisins per sweet potato, and a generous amount of cinammon and finished them. Zero leftovers. It does turn them into a sweet, not a side, and obviously not low calorie, but very tasty.
