I didn't have any pie this year, and I have to admit that I missed the pumpkin pie for breakfast more than I missed having it for dessert yesterday.

I think I am going to decorate big time this weekend. I won't have anybody here, but it will seem less bleak if it is shiny and pretty. My SIL just did my nails Christmas red, with a few red glittery ones too to get in the mood.

There's a definite lack of PIE around here.

I just had a big slice of cranberry sauce for a late snack, though. That counts as a vegetable. (Say 'yes.')

Timelies all!

Thanksgiving dinner was pretty good, over all. The turkey was a bit dry(not really a surprise, as it was pre-sliced) though the gravy helped. Mashed sweet potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce were all good.

(Say 'yes.')

Yes!

Since we went full Thanksgiving Elf yesterday delivering foodstuffs all over the Bay Area, we were depleted on side dishes. So I made more stuffing, mashed potatoes, veg and turkey gravy today.

Really liking the Apple Cream pie now that it's been in the fridge for a bit. Need to try the Bluberry/Raspberry pie with ice cream, I think.

I'm still chuffed about yesterday. It was disappointing when EM cancelled, and when Emmett had to pull out it was looking like a full on disaster. But taking it to the road and delivery treats made all the difference. It was adventuresome and beautiful instead of desultory. And then the Zoom calls with JZ's family, and Emmett/EM were really fun.

Instead of nursing a Bummed Out Hangover, I feel energized and connected.

That's great, David!

I mean this 100% sincerely: I love seeing my extroverts get the energizing people-time they need, especially because the pandemic has drastically curtailed that out of necessity.

Echoing Steph. I mean, I barely recognize stay-at-home precautions they're so like my everyday. Except for the part where now I'm told I can't I want to, like a cat. Or a two-year-old.

But StY is suffering--he's such an extrovert, quarrantine's been really hard on him.

So David, I'm glad you had lovely weather and companionship on your Thanksgiving Dinner Delivery Drive yesterday. And a feast at home to enjoy.

I have a whole pumpkin pie, plus a bit left of the first one. I should have pumpkin pie for breakfast. Thanks for the tip!

especially because the pandemic has drastically curtailed that out of necessity.

I had a whole ecosystem of baristas, bartenders, comicbook/bookstore/record clerks that I never see anymore. Not to mention the parents of Matilda's friends that I'd formed friendships with. And those are just my supplemental vitamins for a healthy extrovert diet.

This was the route we took. Let's see if I can put this Google link in: [link]

It worked!

You basically had a mini road trip, with bonus food delivery! Sounds like a great way to spend Thanksgiving.
