Turkey Day Post-Mortem

Ha ha, a phrase from my former life....  So, what died???  Plenty of things; here's the tally:

- the turkey, of course.  it was delicious.  as was the sausage stuffing, sweet potato casserole, roasted butternut squash with fried pancetta, salad, gravy, rolls and pies.  I cheated and bought a frozen pumpkin pie; I think that's allowed (since I don't even like pumpkin pie).

- my downward trend on the scale.  sharp uptick this week, I'm sure.  Lucky for me, the battery on thing died, and it takes a funky watch battery, so, no scale!  Woo Hoo!!

- Albuquerque's warm-ish spell.  we woke up to some snow, and the high was 35.  Burrr!! 

- Texas' hopes for a crappy bowl game.  You win some, you lose some...  This year we lost A LOT.

All in all it was an awesome day.  I got to spend it cooking and eating, watching movies with Jordan, hanging out with my family.  We have much to be thankful for: we are well fed, well loved, and well in health.  Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!!

Not sorry to hear about Texas. It's nice to not be the losers for once!! That last interception would have been hard to swallow though for a longhorn...

So glad your scale broke! I gained 1 lb in 2 days. That's right.

Great to hear about your delicious thanksgiving! Would expect nothing less from the Kropkas!
