I'm Thankful For ...
... making it through another Thanksgiving orgy of food. Truly, I don't know why we go to so much trouble every year. By the time everything is cooked and set out, the cook (in our case, cooks) are too worn out to enjoy it.
We were up until after 4:00am Thursday morning, baking pumpkin pies, cheesecakes, and cookies. Then, back up at 9:30am to get the bird ready. I'm not sure I actually had any sleep. (I know Mark didn't.) 
And, sadly, we managed to enjoy one of our newer Turkey-day traditions, again this year ...
Our lovely, beautiful, sat-in-the-fridge-for-a-week bird was still half frozen!
I try to tell myself that, with a refrigerator that freezes the pickles on the back of the shelf, we know our food isn't going to go bad overnight. But, it's really tough to remember that, when you're trying to get dinner in the oven. Too bad you can't fit a turkey in the FlavorWave - that thing'll cook anything from frozen-to-table in record time.
Oh, well. We had our family together. The food was good, if several hours later than we'd planned. And no one had the flu.
All in all, it was a day to be thankful.
