A good Monday morning to you all. To those who have to go to work, have a nice day. To those of us who get to stay home, you have a nice day too.
The Thanksgiving holiday is over and what a lovely one it was. The house was full of love, laughter, good food and fabulous family. We were enjoying ourselves so much no even thought of bringing out a camera. I guess you can't ask for a better time that that. You've heard the expression "kiss the cook" when all the food is gone. Well they came pretty darn close. One small piece of turkey left, a cup of mashed potatoes, no gravy, no dressing, one sweet potato. I can tell you that is a first. We also had a chicken and there was barely enough left to make soup with. Jack wanted to try his attempt at chicken noodle soup and did he ever to a good job. Very little of that left either. The one thing we had in abundance was pie. Two pumkin (gone) 1 apple (1/4 left) 2 strawberry (1 gone), 2 banana cream (1 gone) and 1 mincemeat (1/4 left). So you can see what we've been snacking on for the last 2 days. Time for some serious dieting before the Christmas bounty.
Did not participate and Black Friday and have no intention on doing the Cyber Monday thing either. Only have a few gift cards left to get and can do that anytime this week. I does feel good not to have to worry about running out close to Christmas.
You all have a great week.
Your Thanksgiving sounds wonderful. Mine was too. There is nothing like family, friends and good food to make us appreciate our blessings.
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice big family to share the holidays with and aren't you glad you don't have a lot of food left? I always enjoyed watching the family clean it up and if there was any turkey left, I sent a lot back with them.
ReplyDeleteDing dang girl! You all did GREAT! We went put to eat and I only made one pie for here. I did have ice cream though. Christmas I will make an orange cake ( oh, I'm seriously about to drool.) and they have decided on a ham after all. We'll eat till we bust wide open.
ReplyDeleteI love it when there are very few leftovers to deal with! Sounds like your bunch had a wonderful dinner.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do Black Friday either. Things are tight this yr (hubby lost his job this Summer when his plant shut down).
Pass me a piece of that strawberry pie! :D
Good deal with your Thanksgiving dinner. Sounds like you've done it all before and know exactly how much to prepare. That's an art!
ReplyDeleteNo shopping for me either...well, maybe a few online purchases, but those will be gifts for me. :)
Have a good one too Terry.
