My Suessical Life for 2003 November 30 (entry 0)

Sun Nov 30 2003 21:32: What a great holiday! Dave essentially took five days off; we may pay price for that this week, but we'll see. He's been working his tail off up to this holiday, so I'm sure he'll be fine. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing so much of my husband for a change.

We ate a delicious feast: turkey from a local farmer, gravy, sweet potato souffle, stuffing, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, hand-made rolls, the you-gotta-have-jello side dish with strawberry gelatin set with mashed strawberries and bananas, crushed pineapple and a middle layer of plain yogurt. Dave, the pie-man of the family, baked two delicious apple pies. The food was all very nice. The company was even better, with my mom and sisters Julie, Michelle, and Lorna. Julie was in charge of the rolls, Michelle made the stuffing, Lorna helped core the apples for the pie. My sisters each enjoyed participating in the food preparations.

Jennifer Taylor, my close friend from high school, had her first Thanksgiving deep in the heart of Texas with her in-laws in Lufkin. The Taylors serve "catfish stuffing" as part of their Thanksgiving meal. I am interested to hear her report on that one tomorrow.
