Thanksgiving dinner
Overall our Thanksgiving dinner went well. It was mostly madness, and Jason and I didn't really get a chance to eat until late because we were trying to put the bread pudding into a water bath. Our families came, and so did Jason's uncle and aunt. Apparently his uncle and aunt keep to themselves a lot, because I've met them all of twice in six years. But they actually got along with my parents very well.
The food was good. We had an amazing homemade cheesecake, and the bread pudding was out of this world. Jason wants to make it again, but I'm recoiling from the idea. There were so many steps involved, I wanted to cry by the time we were done. You had to make the bread, then a vanilla bean sauce, then a custard to cook the bread in, another caramel apple sauce, and then whip cream to put on top. And the water baths were a total nightmare.
I will go down the street and find a restaurant to make me some damn bread pudding, thank you.
But the family loved the food, and everyone took home lots of leftovers.
On Saturday I drove down to Fort Myers for a college reunion at my friend's house. tiney , I bbq'd with your little brother at Lyn's house! My friend Lyn is a vegan, and her mom made us a huge vegan bbq feast in their backyard. It was amazing. Their house is on a canal, and we watched the sunset while eating. If someone cooked like that for me everyday, I would become a vegan in a heartbeat.
