gobble, gobble

Happy Thanksgiving to all and sundry. I hope everyone who celebrates is having a fantastic meal with family and/or friends and enjoying the day.

I am very, very thankful for plumbers who work on Thanksgiving since our pipes backed up late last night. What is with our plumbing and major holidays? But, guests are expected any moment and we have toilets that work and I got a shower so I didn't have to offend anyone. Yay!

We're deep frying the turkey this year. Archie baked all the pies last night. There's just some last minute things like making mashed potatoes and gravy, heating up the scalloped corn, and opening up the can-berry. (That's not a typo -- you know the cranberry gelatin stuff that you get in the can? Archie must have it on the table -- in the can shape. Can-berry. Heh.)

Well, it's almost time to kick off the holiday season. Gobble, gobble.
