A truly Happy Thanksgiving

So much to be thankful for this year, this season, this month ! With an important exam for work out of the way, I was able to concentrate on food again ! One week after the exam was Thanksgiving, and so planning was fast and furious. We hosted for the first time – it was awesome ! We got a beautiful bird from Russo’s and made a good amount of food. Not too much and enough turkey leftover for sandwiches and soup.
I made creamed onions for the first time – and they were a hit ! At no point did I feel rushed, out of control or worried about the food.
With a new table able to fit 6 adults and 3 kids comfortably, we sat and said grace, and ate and ate and drank and laughed.
After dinner we sat in front of the fire, sipped some Allagash Victoria Ale, watched some football and told stories that made us cry with laughter.
All in all a great day. This morning found me up with the boys, making Uncle Phil’s great popovers. I took one out and split it with our daughter – light airy crunchy and delicious. Even plain. However, with butter and some fresh berry jam…
Off to make soup and entertain another day !
