My Georgia clan was headed to Florida, the California crew was entertaining their LA fam and I enjoyed a family dinner the Sunday before since my nephew and to-be niece were in early.
We did squeeze in an Old Mill visit amidst some unforeseen house projects. I was hoping he'd help me organize the workbench, but that will have to wait for another visit and it obviously can wait as it's been 3 years since it's been on my to-do list.
Wednesday we both headed to our respective Turkey dinners. Houston was my destination and the airports really were so much quieter than expected. Apparently many travellers chose to travel on Tuesday. Go figure and I was able to change a long Dallas layover to an earlier flight which had 50 open seats!
Homemade pizza awaited me. YUM.
Thursday's holiday table was filled with much thankfulness for the bounty, those who helped prepare it and for all those seated around the two tables. All the traditional fare was in the kitchen buffet line including salmon for the nonmeat eaters and an Irish family recipe of stuffed tomatoes... See below.
Couldn't capture it all: Turkey, gravy, oven potatoes, bread stuffing, cranberry salad, casseroles of sweet potato, corn pudding and green beans in addition to a pomegranate salad and rolls. Apple pie, brownies and pumpkin bread for dessert. I'm sure I left something out...
Leftovers would be plentiful to devour during the week... And as my holiday shirt stated: we gobbled til we wobbled.
May this holiday season continue to be filled with the important things in life: good food, good friends and family... Best wishes to you all.
And to my nail art I say Bye, Bye Birdie...
