Well, really, the diet hasn't been too bad so far. I have had so much to do to get ready for Thanksgiving that I haven't had a chance to sit down and think much about eating food. I have been preparing a lot of it, though.
I baked a chocolate cake with mousse between the layers and a chocolate glaze, two pumpkin pies, sweet potato casserole (topped with a pecan/brownsugar topping, it is as good as dessert.) Lets see.....the ham is baking right now.
Tomorrow I will roast the turkey breast, bake the dressing, rolls and broccoli casserole. Also on the table, of course, cranberrys! Andy will do his bit by making the gravy, which is much better than mine.
The table will be set, the turkey and ham carved, the buffet laden with goodies and the glasses filled.
Then, we will sit down with my son and his family from North Carolina, give thanks for our blessings and eat.
Where it has taken hours to prepare dinner, it will take only 15 minutes to fill our tummies so full we may pop!
The women will clean up and put away, while the men put their feet up and groan in front of the TV. My granddaughter will get right back on the computer.
I am grateful for our family, home and good food this Thanksgiving. I give thanks to God for all I have and my many blessings. I think about the people in this community who don't have a nice meal or a warm bed. I think about people out of work and down on their luck. It doesn't take much to lose your home these days. It doesn't take much to lose your security and future. This is the season to help our neighbors in whatever way we can.
Happy Thanksgiving y'all.
