Hi ladies, and same to others who visit later.
The cannoli shells look great Lorell.
Natalie, I agree with you that a turkey dinner (and then the leftovers) are worth having more than once or twice a year.
Hi Rich; you posted while I was correcting my usual many typos. Nice photo. Like everything else in your city it looks immaculately clean and well maintained.
Our Thanksgiving was intentionally low-key; my halfway formulated grandiose plans had to be scaled back quite a bit. First, I'm still trying to shake a cold. And second, when you're cooking for just two or three it doesn't make sense to prepare a feast that feeds five or six. So I decided I'd buy turkey parts separately. But nobody had small amounts of turkey breast for sale so I got a few thighs, some cranberries for my home-made cranberry orange relish, and items for stuffing (StoveTop mix plus a few spices I wanted to add. With a cold lingering I figured we'd have our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. I prepared the relish on Friday (it seems to taste better after a day or two) found a recipe I liked for turkey thighs and cooked them yesterday along with stuffing, potatoes, green beans, and crescent rolls. It all tasted pretty good, so even this scaled-down meal was worth the effort.
I haven't taken many photos lately, but when I was setting the trash cans out to be emptied early yesterday, I saw the morning light doing nice things with some whitish plants across the street. I ran in and grabbed the camera but in those 30 seconds the light had changed and the nice illumination effect had diminished. Still I took a few shots and one seemed good enough to share here...
I've been enjoying the World Cup games, watching all the games that were aired on FOX and even waking up very early to catch the other games on a local Mexican station. Now that 3 of today's 4 matches are done I'll settle in with some leftovers and brews to watch a couple of NFL games.
