Wonderful Time

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.

  1. Your Thanksgiving sounds wonderful. Mine was too. There is nothing like family, friends and good food to make us appreciate our blessings.

  2. You 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.

  3. Ding 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.

  4. I love it when there are very few leftovers to deal with! Sounds like your bunch had a wonderful dinner.
    I 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

  5. 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!

    No shopping for me either...well, maybe a few online purchases, but those will be gifts for me. :)

    Have a good one too Terry.
