Jeremiah 29:11

It's been a quiet Thanksgiving ...

11:10 PM, Nov. 22, 2007 .. Posted in ponderings .. 6 comments .. Link
one with a mixture of new recipes and old favorites ... a mealtime which is different because we have a kid  (my 18 year old niece) who has entered the workforce and had noontime obligations ... and a day which normally begins at 6am for me didn't get into full swing until 10am.

And this girl who usually has a migraine in the face of major change ... loved the change! And I think candlelight dinner worked very well!

So, what was on our table?

Turkey ... sage and butter as the main basting ingredients (old standby)
Dressing ... sage, apple and sausage (new recipe ... I think we'll go back to the old recipe next  year)
Sweet Potato Casserole ... just the standard because no one but Randy and I like it.
Mashed Potatoes ... Yukon Gold with lots of butter and half and half
Cranberry Sauce w/ Mandarin Oranges ... nothing special here, but a required item
Green Beans ... just green beans, not casserole
Beef and Noodles ... because it isn't a holiday meal in my family without it!
Yeast Rolls
Pumpkin Pie
Pecan Pie
Fresh Whipped Cream

There are still dishes in my sink  ... that won't change before tomorrow morning. But, all the leftovers are stored. Folks are dropping like flies around here from exhaustion after a day of laying around watching movies and football (GO COLTS!) ...

We won't be shopping at 5am ... who knows if we'll make it out at all! We do plan a trip to the theater to watch August Rush!

Pray your Thanksgiving was full of joy!

LT got to have Thanksgiving with the family for the first time in 40 years. Now that none of us are all that interested in food [bring on the Talk!]
I tried to post a picture of us at his retirement dinner- don't know where his body went. I did better with Grandsons 2 and 3. I think you've seen it though.
I'm still struggling... but I'm thankful the men in white coats haven't shown up yet...
