Helo, you're right about a cup coffee and long walk.
Glad your families had a nice Thanksgiving and the food sounds/looks delicious. Lou, quite the menu. Kyle, such a creative pastry and beautiful punch presentation. Thomas, homemade blueberry pie, yum!
I prepared the entire Thanksgiving meal myself this year, since my wife has continued to need to stay with her mom. First time I have done much more than deep fry a turkey or make last year's Turchetta. She came home yesterday afternoon, just in time, and spent the night here for the first time in 3 weeks. I roasted the turkey using a recipe that I got asking AI...it was provided from a website called DamnDelicious...and it was. I brined it the day before...really made it moist.
I also made a simmered cinnamon and caramel apple trifle for dessert...a recipe from the Costco magazine, of all places, and it was incredible. Especially since I hadn't had any sweets for a month...trying to eliminate/severely reduce sugar intake to see if it helps reduce inflammation in some of my joints. I'd say after a month it's been a success. Haven't touched the ibuprofen jar in a while, even after a big hike. Don, I might need some help going any further/all the way. My wife loves cinnamon and apples and caramel. I eat apples daily...so we both really liked this trifle.
I had time to think of many things for which I'm grateful, and certainly my wife was at the top. Tomorrow makes 45 years married.
She's going back today to visit her mom, and I'm sending food, especially trifle. Otherwise, I'll be too tempted.
This guy has some really good videos on eating cheap, and other excellent recipes — once you look past the comedy schtick that is his trademark..Oldest daughter is coming today. She is saving her money on food and try to eat at our house as much as she can. Typical student behavior. I was the sameSo we got for her some nice pieces of meat and beans
