It's just the three of us this Thanksgiving. We just wrapped up a nice visit with Travis' Mom, will see all of his family at Christmas (plus some of mine will come along), and my Mom + Eric went to Phoenix to visit the clan there this year. Given our recent bout of traipsing we opted to stay put for at least a few days.
Our traditional non-traditional feast this year - fondue! We added some non-traditional dippers like oysters and cherry tomatoes. We decided our favorites are still baguette pieces and green apples. I'm not sure if FFM was more excited about the fondue or his special wine glass filled with sparkling pear juice.
And our final course, Chocolate Cranberry Bread Pudding with Bittersweet Sauce. We managed to sneak in a traditional Thanksgiving ingredient in after all.
Like most of our relatives we had a warm, balmy day here and we spent it relaxing and playing. I spent a moderate amount of time in the kitchen (a bit more time cleaning up it seems) and both boys got a few rounds of T-ball and good naps in. Tomorrow Travis sets forth on his next major home improvement project, which started last weekend with a new hole in our garage...
It's a bit of a big project, but not really a very exciting one. It involves an unexplored attic, new wiring, and insulation. My favorite part of this project? I don't know how to do wiring and there's really only room for one person at a time up there. FFM and I will just have to entertain ourselves. Perhaps we'll trim the tree.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, I hope you had a wonderful time with plenty to be thankful for and managed to stuff yourselves silly.
