J and I had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. We slept in and spent most of the day at home, drinking hot tea and anticipating our dinner. We started cooking together around 5 p.m.
I prepared the a walnut-chestnut stuffing
while J prepared the turkey chicken. It turned out great.
We also made mashed potatoes (from scratch!), green beans and Brussels sprouts.
It was delicious!
We went for a nice long walk after dinner while our dessert – pumpkin pie! – was in the oven.
It was a quiet, but wonderful day. I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as I did :) And the best part: We still have the whole weekend ahead of us!

November 30, 2009 at 3:52 pmThat sounds absolutely wonderful. I had my whole family here and it was a bit much. Instead of a holiday it was a little more like hell. I think in the future, Andrew I will have a Thanksgiving meal with just the two of us.
