Good morning, the day after Turkey Day.
So far I have eaten a Hershey's kiss and a chocolate chip cookie. When I went to bed there was half a tray-full of them and this morning, there were two. Now there is one.
I think I better grab it.
I am having, as we speak, my Star-bucks Coffee. I feel I must mention that the cat just really really really badly stunk up the room I am typing in so I opened the window and he jumped on the sill. we can hear geese flying overhead. The day sounds quiet.
I just heard a crow cawing. today would be a great day for Tyler State park walking but my damn foot is injured. I have plantar Faciitis. Its fixable but I has benched me for a week or two.
Yesterday I made the best turkey dinner I have ever made if I do say so myself The turkey I cannot take credit for, It must have had a good life, stayed away from the alcohol and drugs, ate properly. All I did was rub olive oil on it and some spices and unceremoniously, shoved stove top up his rump. Threw in a couple of onions and carrots and a few apples this time and stuck that dutch oven in.
We had the usual mashed potatoes, candied yams with pecans, biscuits, sparkling cider and wine. Made this FABU unusual green been casserole which ended up being the star of the table. It was delectable. It was made with blue cheese and Heavy Cream. Sounds gross but OMG it was good
After words the men cleaned up the table and my Mom and I went in to sleep in front of the football game with cigars.
Okay, my Mom and I went to the computer to shop for something on ebay she wanted. A case for her old silverware that she couldn't find anywhere else.
Then we made some coffee and I even used my cow creamer, the one where the milk comes out of the cows mouth.(I save it for holidays these days. When I first got it, I used it all the time)
and then we settled in front of The Darjeeling Limited".(Who wants scrambled eggs, raise your hands?"
We then went up to our families house for desert which consisted of the cookies I mentioned earlier in the post, two homemade pumpkin pies by Aunt Mary(A real baking wiz, let me tell you) I mean that.
some eclairs and , coffee again. We chatted a bit and ate and cleaned off the table and went home where I then tried to read in bed but found myself waking up, John Adams on my chest(my book) , glasses on my face with a pug asleep next to me. I called it a night.
That was it. Now family crisis', arguments, all was well in the world.
Now, the Halloween Decor can come down and we can get ready for the next holiday.
Hope all your holidays were great as well
