We had a lovely, chill Thanksgiving. Now there is a football game in that no one I watching, because three of the five people in the room are asleep, and the one who is "watching the game" is... not. She is watching her phone.

I walked all three dogs (separately).

Ooh, now we're going to Bananagram! Nice!

Oliver and I just got back from the skating rink and we are starting dinner. DH prepped everything last night and pre-baked this morning.

So we just need to do the spuds and the beef tenderloin.

Happy Ritual Sacrifice with Pie.

In the post-carbs coma and halfway watching football before tonight's likely terrible football.

My friend grew up Jehovas Witness so isn’t used to celebrating thanksgiving. And her girlfriend is Ukrainian, so likewise. We shall see how this goes and who brings what!!

I had sarameg over for Thanksgiving and we didn't eat until 2:30, and everything was good. My misstep was not getting heavy cream. light cream does not whip, even if you add in butter as the interwebs instructed me.

Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday and I am Thankful for all of you.

We went to nephew's house and visited with them and ate snacky food (including shrimp cocktail, so it was a partial Shrimpsgiving), and then nephew loaded us up with dinner to go (smoked turkey, mashed taters, GF stuffing, and GF green bean casserole), so we don't need to cook anything here after Tim gets back from visiting his dad. He took a piece of pumpkin pie for his dad.

Nephew's neighbor across the street has one of those 12-foot skeletons from Home Depot, and is getting their money's worth, because it's outside the garage wearing a t-shirt that says HAPPY THANKSGIVING and it's holding an inflatable turkey. I need to go back and see what they do for Christmas.

Timelies all!

Back from dinner at Gary's mom's place. Dinner itself went fine, but Mr. S has been extra energetic since then.

I already booked the roller skating rink for Dec 23rd.

Dinner went well. I was especially happy with how the Cornish hens came out—crispy skin and juicy meat. I sent home loads of leftovers with my guests, but I still have so much food. But I’m having a couple of people over on Sunday, so I’m hoping to turn leftovers into something tasty for that dinner.

I love seasonal skeletons!

Watching the terrible football but thinking about bailing to get home while still awake. Have leftovers for to, including pie and the last of the historic cranberry sauce that none of us can remember how long ago we made it but we’ve been defrosting and refreshing it for probably 315 years. It’s pretty concentrated. We’ll have to make more next year, mom assured me she has cranberries in the freezer ready to go.
