Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their dinner and some of you were probably lucky enough to see family yesterday as well. My husband doesn't like turkey, dressing (really hates it), and yams, etc. So, when I have cooked it in the past, I am pretty much the only one that enjoys it. My son is autistic as you all know and we were seriously debating not going to dinner at all, as he doesn't understand, "sit still and be quiet" like most two year old children don't. My husband, Kevin, even suggested ordering a pizza. LOL I really didn't want my daughter, Kassidy, to go to preschool and tell everyone she had pizza. So we made reservations at a Steak & Ale and it was fabulous! Kassidy had the traditional macaroni & cheese, lol, it's her favorite; we all ate something we liked and there wasn't a mess to clean up. I did tell Kevin that when I mention what we are doing on Thanksgiving, not one person has ever told me they are going out to eat; instead I hear all about their labors of love they are about to partake and the family they will get to be with. So, it's my theory that ALL of those people we saw at the restaurant tell everyone they are cooking! LOL I hope the pilgrims don't mind; I am pretty sure they would do the same thing given the chance. :) I am looking forward to Christmas as we will get to go home to Tulsa, Oklahoma and I will get to see my wonderful yet quirky family. We have most of our shopping done and that's always a plus living in this big city of Houston, Texas. Crowds were already bad 3 weeks before Thanksgiving but I started in January of last year. LOL Do you all have old recipes that date way back? I would love to post these on the site. Plus, it wouldn't hurt if I had some of them myself, lol. Best Wishes to all my Listers!!!!
