Thanksgiving

 The turkey was moist, and the ham was savory.  The yams were sweet, and the cornbread dressing was delicious.  The green bean casserole, excellent. Yeast rolls, or course, with cranberry sauce and assorted desserts.  Let's not forget about the gravy

We fed, by my count, sixteen today.  I have much to be thankful for.  My friends, my family, and the bounty that the Lord has blessed me with. I hope that each of you had a remarkable Thanksgiving. Tomorrow begins the Christmas season.

For myself, I will be sorting thru the debris.  I have to put away the turkey fryer and clean that big pot that I use once a year.  Then Belle and I will eat leftovers. I'll put the turkey carcass in a pot and boil the bones for stock, saving the leftover meat.  This will become a traditional gumbo that I cook each Sunday after Thanksgiving.

It was a very good day and I am relaxing with a bourbon and counting my blessings.
