Giving Thanks
With Turkey Day so near, lets blog about it!
1. How do you celebrate Thanksgiving?
the last two years, i have spent it in California with Nichole & Daniel. good food, good company.
2. Do you cook or go out to eat?
well... me, personally? it's kind of a combination of the two. because i am not cooking, and i do go *to* the food. but it is an awesome home cooked meal.
3. What has been the best Thanksgiving for you? The worst?
my favorite Thanksgiving was the last one i spent with my family, before my Gram passed away. my least favorite Thanksgiving was in... ummmm... 1999. i had a full Thanksgiving meal at my grandparents' house at lunchtime. then we went to Michael's sister's house & i had a full Thanksgiving meal there for dinner. did i mention i worked in daycare at that time? and that there was a stomach virus ripping through the infant room, where i happened to work? wanna guess how i spent all of Thanksgiving night -- with two *huge* meals as the ammunition? ugh.
4. What are you thankful for?
all sorts of things. that i have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, my bills are all paid, and i am healthy. that i have people who love me. that this crazy thing called a blog has brought all sorts of wonderful blog buddies into my circle of friends. that Mike Lowell will be back in Boston (what? you actually thought i was kidding about being thankful for this??)
5. Any special traditions you do?
ummmm... not so much. unless eating til i go into a food coma counts as a tradition. =P
an extra sidedish this week:
1. cranberry sauce or gravy?
ummmm... both, please? i am a big fan of cranberry. and mashed potatoes with gravy is one of my favorite comfort foods.
2. white meat or dark?
white for me. yes, i know it's not as moist. that's why we have *gravy*. ;-)
3. yams, with or without marshmallows?
how about none at all? tell you what. i'll trade you all the yams, if i can have both the cranberry sauce *and* the gravy from question one.
4. stuffing or no stuffing?
it depends on the stuffing. i need to taste it first.
5. pumpkin pie or apple pie?
apple! warm & with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
6 with their own thoughts:
I'm gonna play along!

Dawn,
I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving, and be safe in your travels.
"that this crazy thing called a blog has brought all sorts of wonderful blog buddies into my circle of friends"
I'll second that thought.
#3. Your 'worst' is defiantly really bad!! My most memorable Thanks Day? The first time I got my 'Dot' if you-know-what-I-mean. I was 13 and wouldn't come out of the bathroom and we were just about to eat and my male cousin thought I had diarrhea and that's what he told everyone at the table! ---Hmm. Maybe I'll blog about it, HA!
Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving and got your cranberry sauce and gravy!
And I am jealous that all of your pics are organized...I hope to get there someday!
A couple of your name suggestions are on our list and my husbands name is Aaron so I think we may have similar name taste!
Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Here's a bit of "Thanksgiving" type trivia. Do you know that yams are sweet potatoes that are grown in Louisiana? Saw that on one of those Food Channel shows.
