Mike, Cece, Sophie and I had a memorable Thanksgiving/ Black Friday. Yesterday we enjoyed a fabulous meal and great company at the Saltonstalls with Patrick, Zoya, Nora, Stuey, Mary Jane and Rob. Patrick made the turkey, gravy and mashed potatoes, Zoya made a kale and red pepper stir-fry, stuffing and a chocolate-Baileys pie, Mary Jane and Rob made a sweet potato-pecan casserole and a baked brie appetizer, and Mike and I made scallop ceviche and a pretzel-ice cream pie. Need-less-to-say we all ate well.Growing up my family always made the entire T-day meal ourselves. While the hour meal time(okay...half hour meal time) was always enjoyable, this was significantly outweighed by the hours of meal prep time and long clean-up afterwards. So its a refreshing change to share the meal prep, clean-up and have good company throughout it all.
Today, Black Friday, I was undecided if I would venture out to do any shopping but as I was already awake and up with Sophie at 4am I couldn't resist the toy store to shop for all our nieces, nephews, Cece and Sophie. 20% off everything. I returned home on a wonderful shopping high, arms full of my discounted lout. I was able to 'encourage' Mike to go to two sporting goods stores and while he found a few needed items, he was more annoyed with the shopping frenzy than energized.
