March 20th is the new Thanksgiving
Yesterday JD and I had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with Tanya and Paul. It wasn't a turkey dinner, it was Thanksgiving. Having missed out on this yearly eating fest, due to the renovation of their house, they decided it was only fair they should be able to enjoy it once the house became livable (which by the way, it really, really is. Beautiful). It looked like spring out, but the frigid wind felt reminiscent of November. The smells of the turkey cooking, the sage and thyme apple stuffing, the pureed rich and decadent sweet potatoes, and the classic buttery mashed potatoes were as intoxicating as ever. We sipped on a great pinot noir and got nice and hungry for what would (probably) be the last Thanksgiving dinner for at least 7 more months.
In true American Thanksgiving style, we followed it up with some television watching - the new HBO show "Big Love" - not sure what I think of this show, yet, and "Project Runway" reruns.
Ultimate Blogger is getting very exciting, with Real Girl making it to the top three and coming up with a really fun and innovative last entry. I can't wait to see the results from this latest challenge. Too much fun! Go Real Girl!
Also, today is a happy, happy day. It is my papa's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD), as well as my father in law's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARLOS) and it is also the "get together" anniversary of JD and I (I LOVE YOU, JD) which means we have been together for 9 YEARS (!). Happy March 21st to all!
