Happy Thanksgiving!

Nov 22, 2012 22:43

I wish a very Happy (if slightly belated) Thanksgiving to all my American flisters! I hope that you all had many reasons to feel thankful, and wonderful, bountiful days. And I hope all the rest of you had wonderful Thursdays. ~sends love, hugs, and glittery smooches ( Read more... )

Um, WOW, Bluey!

Hee hee. We mostly seasoned our Thanksgiving feast with salt. ;-)

I cannot believe you pulled off such a grand success for so many people! Wow again. :-) :-) :-)

Dashing in to sneak some of your leftover prosciutto and figs. Just kidding. I know there's no such thing as leftover prosciutto.

~blushes~ Thank you! It was kind of scary to plan it, but surprisingly easy to pull off, when it came down to it. I guess some days, you just get lucky!

I would absolutely offer you the leftover prosciutto, if I had any. (You're right, though: no such thing.)

And don't knock salt! It's the most important seasoning in the pantry. If you've ever had eggs without salt, you know what I mean.

Wow, the food sounds beyond delicious, and I'm so glad everyone had a good time. It can be hard to blend disparate families, but it when it works, it's glorious.

I want everything on the menu except the garlic mash (garlic...not my friend). Otherwise, you've actually made me feel hungry, something that after my own Thanksgiving meal, I thought would never happen again.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, dear!

PS -- Sorry about the Lions. They are always my Thanksgiving Day team of choice.

Send my icon to Houston.

I love your icon! I will send it to Houston... and to the refs officiating the game. And the NFL for that offensively stupid rule. (I'm not excusing Schwartz for forgetting it, because he should have known better... but it IS a ridiculous and irrational rule.)

Thank you very much! The prospect of introducing two families can be a nerve-wracking experiment, but it went very well, perhaps because both families are filled with eccentrics. *g* I am grateful.

Wow, the menu made you feel hungry even after Thanksgiving? I'm amazed! No matter how good the food is at Thanksgiving, for a week afterward, even I don't want to think about food or eating, except in a purely intellectual way...

The garlic is unavoidable in these families, unfortunately. His family is Italian... mine just really loves garlic.

Ooooh gosh! What a wonderful feast!

It sounds as though you had a really perfect day, and I am very happy for you!

Thank you very much, Dicky! It truly was a perfect day. I got lucky at the right time. I only wish you could have joined us for the feast! ~hugs~

*wails* I want to come to dinner at your house! You are clearly an awesome cook and hostess and I'm so glad the occasion went well. I love cooking but get very stressed by catering for more than three, especially if any of the extra mouths are related to me, so I would never dare host a dinner like that. And how lovely that you've got more fun to look forward to today as well. Hope the sun keeps shining for you ( ... )

Oh my, thank you! It would be my honor to cook for you, of course. &hearts ( ... )

Your Geography Teacher is a keeper, no doubt about it - I admit to tearing up a bit too while I was reading that! Well done to him for knowing exactly what to say to make you feel confident. It clearly worked brilliantly ( ... )

bluestocking79 November 24 2012, 17:04:28 UTC

It did work! It was exactly what I needed to hear, right when I needed to hear it, and that really grounded me through the whole thing. I'm going to hang on to that and pull it out whenever I need that reminder. It's the best gift ever!

And yes, I agree: he's a keeper. &hearts

The time in Patagonia just sounds absolutely amazing! Slightly terrifying, with regard to the cow and bulls, but I'm glad it all turned out well. And that's the material memories are made of, isn't it? What a fantastic experience!

And it's my pleasure to pass it along! I love sharing recipes with people who will enjoy them. :D

Well, come on over! I've got plenty of leftovers. I'll make up a plate for you... and a big piece of cake. No more ice cream, but I can make more for you. &hearts

Today was full of glittery things, but mostly not for me! I have, however, achieved great success in my continuing plan to dress my godchildren like tiny Vince Noir clones...
