Thanksgiving for Two
And so its been finally decided, we will do visiting rounds to friends' places on Thanksgiving Day itself -- oddly enough all of our parents are not planning anything for the holidays!! Both my mother & brother are now touring the Holy Land and Egypt. It suddenly dawned on us that we haven't gotten any word from Sigfried's parent sets. Strange but true!
On Friday, I have decided that we will have a small Thanksgiving dinner for ourselves. This will be my experiment on "cooking small and simple."
