Yet one more Turkey day came and went. Well, It hasn't “went” as of yet, but I am writing this before you read it, so I guess the chance is that it has “went” now.
A lot has been happening, and not much at the same time. I am happy that at least two of my kids are with me for the holiday, and that my family is in good health.
I am not a huge fan of holidays, and I like even less the food that is feed to people on thanksgiving. I know that people get all worked up about turkey, and pie. I personaly do not fully understand that, as you can eat that stuff all the time. I mean, go get a turkey in May and eat it then.
Anyhow, for years I have recommended that my family forget turkey, and try and cook a pig. Maybe duck, or just good old fashion BBQ. You can imagine, as I have been wanting to do this since I can remember, the pure excitement when my daughter asked for Ribs for Turkey Day.
I refuse to force my kids to come to my house. I know that it is my holiday to have the kids, but they wanted to go to their grandparent’s house. So, I encouraged it. I was very happy that two of them at least wanted to come to my house instead.
Autumn likes ribs, and Shea wanted Pizza. So this year for thanksgiving we ate BBQ ribs and cheese pizza. We had stuffing, mashed potatoes, salad, and mountain dew to wash it down.
Needless to say, It was a good meal. Not as much food, sense there was just three of us. But some good food none the less.
A few pictures to share the day. Good day, and God bless
I should also mention... Autumn decided that thanksgiving diner should be a finger meal...
That close-up of Autumn is great!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way - it's not the turkey and pie, it's the traditions that bring back memories. If we ate something different every year, there would be no connection, nothing to tie them together. It would just be another day. The whole point of holidays is that they are NOT just another day. They are special. I'm glad you had a good one. I ate enough pie for the both of us!
