Being Thankful


Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and it was a very nice one. After several days of cleaning house, I brined and roasted my little 10-pound turkey, braised a brisket with red wine and mushrooms, made a German Apple Cake, my favorite cornbread dressing, cucumber salad, and pureed cauliflower. DD#1 showd up with her boyfriend, so there were 7 at the table. They provided bread, mashed yams with candied pecans, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, and wine. A simple dinner, and very relaxing, too. Lots and lots of conversation. Sorry, no pictures of the food, it did not stay on the table long enough to be photographed.

Entertainment provided by DD#1 and DS#3.


DD#1 is a professional musician. Some of her music is up on the web, so, please, give it a listen. She is very, very good.

I went, I listened, I was blown away! Back in the days when I tried to play guitar I wanted to be able to play like that. I know just enough to appreciate what is involved.

It blows me away, too.
