"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We just had the pumpkin ravioli and the butternut squash soup, and I’m already full.

Early afternoon. We’ll be eating around 4 today which is a bit on the late side but I dragged ass a bit coming down to get started.

One year a friend of mine got a goose to cook for Thanksgiving and asked me to help cook it as she didn’t have much experience with roasting large fowl and then was surprised how early i showed up at her door to get started. I think we actually ate around dinner time, it was a large bird.

I was lured into subscribing to yoga-go by their ads for a tai chi program but I haven’t actually started it yet. I miss tai chi, and having someone tell me what to through headphones might be enough to get me going again. Actually need headphones to make that practical, though, the last set I bought have fallen apart and I seem to have lost my airpods

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dang, our dinner is at 6, with apps at 4.

Our wings are not tired.

Yum, two of my favorites.

I ditched the sprouts and did sauteed spinach instead. Gave me the green without the need for the oven for a half hour. We have consumed the main event now and will wait for room to be available for pie.

The weather is absolutely perfect, so we ate outside.  My NY family has a pretty coating of snow, which is super pretty, but not good for outdoor eating. They have a winter storm warning with a lot mor snow to follow. Here it is 82 and sunny.

OMG, so full and quite tipsy.

Punishingly Intricate

Thankful for you all!!

We’ve always been an eat all dinners, including holiday dinners, at regular dinner time (like 6ish) family.

We ended up eating at 3p, so we're just finishing up and cleaning the kitchen, etc. Really good this year -- possibly peak Thanksgiving food for this group. And I didn't even pig way out. I pigged medium out, so Icould still eat a slice of cranberry tart right now, but I'll wait a while.

One of the (taller) dogs got to the last half of the corn casserole thing, ha! I mean, he got maybe a bite, but there's no telling where he licked and sniffed, so... yeah. His little brother (a Westie) totally ratted him out.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH’s ham with raisin sauce was divine. My sugar cream pie, quite rich and satisfying.

If anyone is interested, my library has free tai chi class videos on Youtube here
