when they brought the teeny gravy boat out, I looked at it and told the waitress, "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
Points! Excellent.
As usual, Thanksgiving dinner is at my sister's big house, so I didn't have to clean mine, yay. The family is sitting around wearing 'skins caps and watching The Game. I'm working and randomly yelling encouraging things over my shoulder. My family used to not care about sports at all, then my sister and my niece took up with sports-loving men, and now... It almost feels like we're normal. Except for Kim's Iron Maiden(tm) Ugly Holiday Sweater.
I'm waiting for the sweet potato casserole to burn, as it does every year.
I just read about the Israel fires. That's very scary. I know some people in Haifa, I hope they and our Israeli Buffistas are all right. And everyone else. No deaths reported yet that I saw.
Do we know that our Israeli Buffistas are ok? I'm just now hearing about the fire in Isreal.
Shir was tweeting earlier today. It's in Hebrew though and google translate is not being helpful.
We 5k'd, and that went well. We had to park in the second overflow lot and the shuttle apparently stopped running before we were ready to leave so we tacked another maybe mile of walking on. I'll be sore tomorrow.
Turkey and stuffing are almost done, Brussels sprouts, root veggies, and sweet potatoes ready to go into the oven. We let Whole Foods do the actual cooking, just heating up.
I cooked everything and everything tasted yum. mac would not eat with us, so, there's that.
Regardless, I am having a lovely day with the parents. Their dog and my dog basically ignore each other, so it is a chill and quiet day. nice.
I cooked everything and had to put the chicken back in the oven, I took it out to soon.
But Dad is gobbling it all down, even the veggies.
Apparently Thanksgiving is when I get sucked into marathons of TV shows I've never heard of before. Last year I watched hours and hours of "Naked and Afraid", this year it was hours of "OutDaughtered" (a TLC show about parents with a 5 year old daughter and all female quintuplets).
I am still killing time before enchiladas, but gave in to eating various bits of my more-traditional food I made (not to take to the enchilada friends) and now I suspect I will not be able to eat much, even though I didn't gorge, the timing was too late. Oh well. (Mmm, pie was so yum)
I was taking a shower to prep for going over to our neighbors for dinner and then suddenly got sick to my stomach. I managed not to actually vomit, but only just. I have sent husband off on his own, as I think the smell of food will not be welcome. So I'm noodling on the internet and not eating. I have had better holidays, I tell you whut.
Feel better soon, Scrappy.
