Thanksgiving day was great.....great company AND great food. Food would have been a bit better if I hadn't done/or not done something to the noodles when I made them but it was obvious they were not going to be used.
The turkey was sweet and juicy and easy to cut with Elizabeth's twin to my knife that Ron bought us this summer. Cranberry salad turned out good, as usual, with Ron's secret ingredient. The lima beans were cooked to perfection as was the corn that Elizabeth and Alan cut off the cob and froze themselves. There was even left over potatoes, not because they weren't delicious but because Elizabeth and Nick peeled enough that even Eric (Alejandro) couldn't eat them all. Everything was cooked perfectly and ready at the same time so that all of us, including Eric's friend Katie, could set down and enjoy. Enjoy we did, that house was never so quiet.
Ron and Alan pitched in and helped clean up the kitchen so Elizabeth could take a break.
We all enjoyed a slice of her home made pumpkin pie and a cup of delicious coffee, relaxed for a while and then headed home so Oliver and Gracie could come out and enjoy their home again.
Thanks Betsy for one of the best Thanksgivings I've had in a long time.
