You too, Charleen. Hope everyone remembers to be thankful for the "bountiful
harvest" and manages to keep from getting caught in all the trappings aimed at
the consumer just to get us to buy, buy, buy. Forget that. I am thankful for
"enough" food, for friends and family to share it with. For the little
four-legged ones that give me so much companionship & joy.

Charleen, you scared me for a minute! I thought somehow I'd slept two days
away and this was Thursday!

Today, a vegetable pasta dish. Cook 2 cups broccoli florets. Dice a
zucchini and 4-5 cloves of garlic and saute in oil until tender. Whisk in a
generous dollop of butter until melted. Stir in the broccoli until coated,
then toss this mixture with penne pasta. Season with salt & pepper and
sprinkle generously with grated romano cheese.

This is why I think Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. It's not
about buying, it's about eating and being with people. Making the
meal isn't too huge of a deal because so much of the "comfort food"
that you make for Thanksgiving is pretty easy to prepare (you have to
really *try* to mess up mashed potatoes) and most of the ingredients
don't cost an arm and a leg. Probably because you don't eat it all
the time, I love turkey, especially the Cajun fried turkeys; but done
any way is great by me and it's another item that's hard to mess up.
Green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, squash casserole;
brocolli casserole (yep, I like casseroles); collard greens,
jambalaya, jalepeno cornbread, yeast rolls, dressing/stuffing
(probably the most involved dish if you want to be fancy), baked beans
and on and on. It's great to have Thanksgiving with family but it's
also nice to share it with people you aren't related to.

Some day if I have a lot of time to get ready I'm going to make a
Turducken (to the uninitiated this is a turkey stuffed with a duck
which is stuffed with a chicken with different stuffings between each
bird). But that is a project that will have to wait. Meantime, I
like the same old Thanksgiving dishes just fine.

Kona and Sebastian get interested in all the smells but they still
seem to prefer their stinky cat food, which is nice.

Hope everyone that participates in it has a wonderful and relaxing
holiday and gives the puddies lots of extra attention.

Thanksgiving will be interesting for me this year. Mainly because it
will be first thanksgiving where I will not be able to see my family.

I have to work on Thanksgiving day.

We board animals at the vet clinic and we have to come in on holidays
to make sure they are fed, medicated and cared for. All the techs
have to work. Some people can get the day off, but for me it came
down to either I take Thanksgiving off or I take Christmas off.

I opted for Christmas. As much as my mom and dad drive me crazy,
that's when the annual family christmas party is held, and I get to
see relatives I haven't seen since last christmas.

I figured I was going to spend thanksgiving by myself with some turkey
breast, stuffing, and yams, when my best buddy invited me over to his
place. His family is coming up from Yuma for Thanksgiving at his
house, and he's familiar with having to spend thanksgiving alone, so
he invited me. That was sweet of him. of course it still will be
weird without my own family.

But at least I'll be able to go home for Christmas.

I'm now trying to decide, should I give the kitties turkey or ham on
Thanksgiving?

Oh, in case people have forgotten, I'm currently living in Southern
California, and my family is in Northern California, in Fremont
