Thanksgiving Tradition

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving unless I burned myself. It's a solemn Thanksgiving tradition. You'd think I would keep burn ointment in the medicine cabinet.

Like last year, I once again burned myself with boiling hot fat filled gravy. Not too bad, just a 1st degree burn.

Thanksgiving was awesome--only out little family. Micci pigged out on corn, Lorelei nibbled on turkey and corn, and Jamey and I stuffed ourselves silly. Mic pestered us for days for asparagus for Thanksgiving. But once he laid eyes on the corn, everything else was forgotten. I didn't mind too much because I love asparagus...I steamed them in water, wine and crushed garlic---with a liberal dose of butter and a sprinkling of salt. YUM!

Then today, we made our traditional Turkey Soup...I wish I could adequately describe the smells eminating from our kitchen...the fresh herbs and the turkey giving all it's flavour and essence to the stock. Hmmm hmmm my favourite part about the holidays is the soup. We had L. and C. over for Soup and Spurs action--soup went over wonderfully, sadly the Spurs did not.
