How many cooks does it take to stuff a turkey? One, but you really have to squeeze him in...Would you like some crackers to go with that cheeeeeze? It made me laugh, but I'm not that smart. So, I wearily hung up my apron as we observed one more milestone to mark the passing of yet another year. There was something very satisfying about having a quiet day at home with just Hunky Hubby and the little ones, even if they are not all that little anymore! I talked to some 'far away' family too. Always nice. Brother was baking a lemon custard pie with Meyer lemons off the tree in our parents' yard. Yummy! I wish I could have been there to try it. He gave me a hard time for serving chicken instead of the traditional turkey, and omitting some of the less healthy albeit customary dishes of Thanksgiving. He can be quite set in his ways at times! Our dinner was perhaps different (lighter) than the standard Thanksgiving fare, but in the end it was tasty (yes, I do say so myself) and we enjoyed the nice day together--thankful for family, friends, food and a nice, cozy home. I hope we all take this spirit of gratitude into the coming holidays and the new year. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
