Today is the perfect day for Thanksgiving. The weather is cold, foggy and drizzly. Absolutely the perfect day for staying inside and playing games and cooking and EATING warm turkey, stuffing (my mom's is the best!) and my sister's homemade cranberry sauce. As a food lover, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays!
Last night my sweetie and I--joined occasionally by Lily--spent the evening in the kitchen baking for Thanksgiving. It was so fun! Jeremy makes fantastic pumpkin pies with gingersnap crust. And I make rolls. My kitchen was practically turned upside down for about 4 hours while Jeremy and I scurried around making our yummies to take with us and give to some of our friends. The result? Three dozen homemade whole wheat rolls (well actually a little shy of 3 dozen thanks to my bread loving monkey), 3 gingersnap pumpkin pies and 3 dozen deviled eggs.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Even in the worst of times there is always something to be thankful for even if it's as simple as Grandpa True's usual response to the how's it going question...Well, I woke up breathing. Me? I'm thankful for so many things: my wonderful husband, my beautiful daughter, my health, I have somewhere warm and dry to sleep, warm showers (wish I could pass that on to my friend, Amber!), good food, amazing friends and my God!
It was a splendid Thanksgiving wasn't it! :) Perfect day with lots of food. One of my favorite things also. It's funny...my grandpa used to say the same thing. :) hahaha
