Thanksgiving

And there you have Thanksgiving! Due to technological inadequacy, some of the desserts are shown before the meal but no one said you couldn't have Aunt Kim's ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL Apple Crisp and Pumpkin Cheesecake before dinner.

Our Thanksgiving was small and quiet. We went to Boston where my mother's brother (Uncle Dave) lives. It was a wonderful, yet ephemeral, trip but as always, amazing food was created. No short overnight trip will stop this family from under-indulging on Thanksgiving.

As you can tell by the selected photos, we had a pretty traditional meal. You got your turkey, your stuffing, brussel sprouts and bacon, freshly made dinner rolls. Unfortunately we were so excited to stuff our faces that not all of the dishes were captured by photo. That's what happens when you travel for 4 hours on an empty belly. However, my aunt does a phenomenal job playing "Susie Homemaker" and satisfying the masses with her delicious cooking and baking.

I must comment, after not only Thanksgiving festivities but "Wine and Cheese" and my sister's recent engagement, that a four day food-fest was certainly had, enjoyed, and over!!! Thankfully, we will be getting back into the routine of normal-sized portions and healthier choices but it was certainly FUN while it lasted.
