Thanksgiving Day Plus One.

I would venture a guess that there are Thanksgiving left-overs in refrigerators all over the country. On the day after Thanksgiving, just about everyone is probably eating some sort of food that was cooked for yesterday's feast.

Instead of the usual whole turkey, I roasted a bone-in turkey breast.... easier to handle than the whole bird, and my husband isn't a fan of the dark meat anyway, so I don't see the point in buying an entire turkey just to make a Norman Rockwell centerpiece for the dining room table.

Thanksgiving isn't complete without pumpkin pie and sweet potatoes, in my opinion.... and if it were up to me, I'd be having lobster on Thanksgiving. Not much prettier than a turkey, but it tastes a lot better.  We were watching a cooking show and they featured a restaurant in Maine that made broiled stuffed lobsters. Now there's a Thanksgiving dinner for you!

Gorgeous day today.... it's getting warmer every day, and by the middle of next week, we'll be back up to 75 degrees, which means I can just wear one sweater, not two.  Don't laugh.  After months of 100 degrees, you'd be feeling the cold too when the thermometer drops down into the 40s during a cold snap.

Our friends V and B have recently moved from Texas to Colorado.... talk about cold.  V is a southern girl..... by the time they get two feet of snow in front of their new home, V is going to be wanting to learn how to knit.  My guess is that she'll knit a cocoon that will cover her from head to toe, and she won't want to come out of there till next July. 

 Thanksgiving "firsts" this year...... V and B with their first Thanksgiving in Colorado, and friends V and S just celebrated their first Thanksgiving with their new grandbaby.
