We are going to a friend's house and all we are bringing is salad, so no turkey smells in the house. Luckily, the DH bought a turkey for us to have T-Giving, The Sequel on Saturday.
There will be 8 of us at this dinner, all old friends. I haven't been to an all grown-up Thanksgiving in years, so that will be interesting. Knowing this friend, there will be great food and excellent weed. I only ever smoke pot when with this couple, maybe once or twice a year, so it is shaping up to be an unusual holiday. I bet the pie will taste damn good.
Yay, ham! Yay Seska's new job!
Chocolate pecan pie is out of oven and cooling. Bird has had aromatics stuffed up its ass and herbs and butter massaged under the skin and is in oven preparing for its eventual fate. Cranberry cherry pear chutney/relish is setting in fridge.
And did I mention that I'm doing this in my OWN HOUSE IN SEATTLE? No family drahma, no chaos, we're just sitting around in sweats and jammies watching the parade and football and snowfall.
If Lewis & I weren't nursing sore throats, I would've suggested a Leftoverpalooza this weekend for the Seattle-istas.
You know... I've got a pretty fucking fantastic life and right at the top of the list of things I'm thankful for are the Buffistas.
Glad you're loving it even after an icepocalypse, living on a hill, Barb! :)
Happy Thanksgiving all! headed out to Mom's with cake and pie!

Heh-- yeah, it's a bit of an adventure, but at least I have ten years of Ohio winter experience to fall back on. And as much as I miss my little BMW convertible, I'm quite grateful to have my SUV now.

Only someone from northern Ohio could say that with a straight face.

Heh. Spoken like a Southern Ohio res.
My Buffistas are WAY up near the top of the list of Things What I Am Thankful For. (Also thankful for being able to end sentences with prepositions.)
Damn right. I am also thankful for these things.
Seska, congratulations!
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all, wherever you are, whatever you're cooking and eating, whomever you're with (or without), whatever you're grateful for today.
Whether you celebrate or not, you're all a large part of what I'm grateful for.
Heh, Scrappy. Last year after the fam Thanksgiving, D and I on impulse called a few friends who were in town for the holiday, and a few couples came over with random leftovers, some wine and a little weed.
A few people smoked, everyone got a little tipsy on wine and it was fun because I never socialize on holidays with non-fam. However, D and I decided not to have friends over this year...because we had no damn leftovers after that! It was like a happy plague of locusts hit us.
