Indulgence Has Begun
 |
| It starts with the Roast Beast. |
It's Thanksgiving Day in the US but we celebrated yesterday since Greg is leaving this morning. On the menu was 'Roast Beast' (rib roast), homemade apple pie, asparagus, homemade mashed potatoes, spinach and snap peas salad, biscuits and one very tired wife.
I hope today is a good day for you wherever you are.
What's on your menu today?

I'm having a lazy Thanksgiving morning. My Greg is hosting this year so nothing for me to do. Feels a bit strange.
Hope you have a nice, restful Thanksgiving.
How nice that your son is hosting this year. It's like passing the baton to the next generation. Enjoy the respite.

Julie: Thank you! It was a long day yesterday, but now I can relax and catch up on some writing.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Julie.
Since my step-kids are half-American, their grandparents are making a Turkey on Sunday. It's mostly that we all just want a bloody turkey dinner with gravy, since none of us are sure what's happening with Christmas (my SIL may or may not be having a heart transplant). And, dammit, we want dead bird!
They get an organic turkey every year; this giant sucker who corpse has to go into a giant garbage bag and broken into 4 different pots for freezer stock.
Good times. Good times.

Sorry to hear about your SIL. But I've heard of some amazing recoveries after transplant surgeries, so I hope hers will be as successful.
We are having the typical TG dinner, but we are eating out at a hotel. That may seem strange but it works for is right now.
Get lots of writing done today and have a good rest too.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Double chocolate brownies made yesterday also as we are not much for pie, I will do peach cobbler later this weekend.
Today about 40 minutes before getting Turkey and dressing out popped in the green bean casserole and the sweet potatoes topped with Marshmallows and Cinnamon.
With all that cooked we sat down to enjoy those goodies along with celery stuffed with cream cheese and a couple deviled eggs.
Maybe not exactly traditional but it is our version of Thanksgiving meal.
Your Rib Roast and all it's accompanying sides is going to make a good idea for my Christmas meal as really do not like salty Ham and Turkey twice is so not happening in the same year!
Happy Thanksgiving Maria, glad Greg had two weeks at home with you.
Have a restful day, Maria. How is the knee these days?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
Angela: Thank you, sweetie. Here, let me hand you a towel. When da boys kiss you, they're sloppy. LOL. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hugs to your Munchkin.
A belated happy Thanks Giving, and I hope you're spared Black Thursday, or is it Friday? I'm not abreast of these things - despite reminders from Amazon.
Mike: I don't do the Black Friday thing. Too much drama just to save a couple of bucks.
Glad you had a good time and are keeping those dogs well fed!
