Just finished my contribution to Irwin Thanksgiving:
Decent wine (Grand Traverse Riesling, Sweet harvest, semi-dry, and late-harvest)
One squash-n-pumpkin pie with graham cracker crust
One rhubarb pie with regular crust
Spinach salad with bacon, egg and tomato (and bacon-fat vinaigrette dressing)
Two pounds of cranberry sauce
Of course, I made the cranberries before mom informed me that she's already made hers; guess I'll have to can the surplus for jam.
Yum, yum. This is really going to be great. Paul and I have an awful lot to be thankful for this year: good health, two stable incomes, a new book out, and lots of love between us, and our extended families and friends. We are lucky, lucky folks, and we don't take as much time as we should to say so. Thanks and love to all of you, near and far. Know that we're thinking of you, even if we haven't seen you for a while.
Happy T-day Irwin-Sizers! Congrats on your things to be thankful for,I have some too, you 2 being among them.Have a good one.
Don't let the Triptithane getcha!
Aw, thanks, Trevor. You and Pam are definitely on my list of awesome people to be thankful for.
Love you! Can't help think of both of you anytime there is terrific food. Oh, and we've started doing our own butter from cream; except that our food processor is broken, so we got lots of exercise shaking until we just put it in our blender.
Big ole hugs to all three of you guys, too. I was just thinking of Miss Maya the other day, when I mentioned Totoro, and she toddled around for the next five minutes going, "Toe? Toe?" That's some weapons-grade cute there.
Hope you guys had a really fantastic Thanksgiving, and I will try to call soon!
