Our Feast

Sage & Dijon Mustard Crusted Turkey Breast, with a nice Shiraz to compliment it, fresh steamed green beans, creamy mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy followed by chocolate pie.

It was a nice and peaceful Thanksgiving for us. We like to have it at our home, just the four of us. The kids were loaded with cute kid-isms today:

My son:

"I'm thankful for a cute little lovely Mommy."

When told that maybe Sam (the girl who lives with us) had things to do with her own family today he responded, in all seriousness, "yeah, like maybe they have to build a dog house... or drinking coffee on their porch or something."

"What's for lunch Mom?" I answer, "Turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy..." He interrupts with a grin "Crazy. Crazy is not a food Mom. You can't eat crazy!" I explain "No, I said GRAVY." "Oh" he replies looking embarrassed.

My daughter:

"We're having chocolate pie? Is there chocolate in chocolate pie?" With wide and excited eyes. ("Yes" I answer her.) "Oh! I love chocolate! It's my favorite."

"Oh they're mashed (potatoes) like Daddy's show!" (MASH)

I had said "Get out of my hair!" while trying to cook and as they walked away she looked at her brother and said "What's, 'get out of my hair' mean?" And he said, "It means you were being annoying."

I swear, it was like they took a funny pill!

Little rascals in my kitchen licking mashed potatoes off the mixer!

And then, as is our custom, we put up our tree and decorated it.

Green shatter proof ornaments for the boy and purple for the yiddle girl.
