I'm giving thanks for having a job, for being a good cook
, for having well behaved kids, and a wonderful man in my life.
We were to have more guests this year, but they had to cancel. So it's going to be just four of us and a big turkey we got at the farm
It's going to be a country Thanksgiving, 55 miles from NY .. a totally different world ...
I've already begun to set my humble table, nothing fancy ... the proof is in the cooking not the fancy china
To all my friends here at Specktra, I want to wish each and everyone of you a great holiday with loved ones all around you to make you smile.
here I moved the chairs around ;-)

In my house, I'm the cook since my mother has 'retired.' haha, anyway we always have a huge family event for Thanksgiving at my grandmother's apartment in Queens. I get to bring about 8 containers of mashed potatoes and fresh baked cookies- both from scratch, and has to be enough for 42 people. Can you tell I'm cooking all night long?
My brother got lucky- he just has to bring the beer. I've called that duty for next thanksgiving, haha!!

This year is weird for me. I have alot to be thankful for, more than ever I think, yet the holiday itself is just not something I want to celebrate.
I mean, I eat every day. The only thing that makes it different for my family is that they pray, 1 time out of the year, to forgive their gluttony.
Not to mention the animal cruelty doc I watched this evening, it definently put a sour taste in my mouth as far as indulging in turkey this year-which I rarely do anyway, but I just feel less and less comfortable around it.
I think I'm going to email some friends of friends, queer punks and anarchists, who are having an Anti-Thanksgiving get together. Bonfires, radical and heated conversations, and lots of vegan cuisine. It should be a nice reprieve.

Today I made a few things that can overnight so that there's not as much to cook tomorrow.
Potato Salad
Spinach Dip (to be put in a sourdough bread bowl)
Pumpkin Pie
I was supposed to make deviled eggs too, so I need to get off my tush and back in the kitchen. I've already boiled and cooled the eggs so it shouldn't take too long.

Thanksgiving is the biggest meal in my family besides Christmas! I looove food so I love Thanksgiving
My grandma always makes a honey-baked ham and a turkey, fruit salad, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, pumpkin pie, and like 5 other things. It's so awesome!!
I'm not looking forward to eating leftovers for 2 weeks lol!
My boyfriend is coming with me this year since his family doesn't do family stuff XD

I'm jealous right now
I never really celebrated thanksgiving, the reason is, here in Quebec we have ''Action de grâce'' but it's earlier in october. We eat turkey and such... but in my family we don't really do anything on that holiday.
When I think of thanksgiving, I always have in mind american movies with a new couple, the guy brings his new girlfriend home for the weekend and funny things happen during that time.
Or even, Friends thanksgiving episodes! Always so funny lollll
I'm a little bit late for it, but I hope you all have a great weekend! I was watching food network and Paula Deen was making such a big feast! Yummy
