A Day of Thanks and Stuffing

Thanksgiving Day

So nice to have a holiday.  I went back to bed and slept late, which won't do good things for me tonight but I am hoping that some evening tryptophan will let me get to bed on time.  Just a local feast for me today, which is nice.  I'll make a couple of dishes to bring but no heavy setup or prep.  A pleasant family evening.

Breakfast:  2 large CF eggs scrambled and cooked in butter with mushrooms, green pepper and onion, a little 4 state cheddar, 1 1/3 C ish Alexia hash browns cooked in butter, 2 thick slices black label bacon, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee

Now featuring grapefruit!

Whew, that's a lot of stuff for one meal!  It was good, although my timing was a bit off, the onions and green peppers cooked from frozen a lot faster than I thought they would so the eggs were done early.  Oh well, no harm.  Oh, and I could have cooked the mushrooms more.  But still at least 7/10.

Lunch:  Greek Gods yogurt with a little raspberry preserves.  Decided to keep it light in anticipation of the feast.  Didn't bother with a picture, it's the same as usual.

Dinner:  Thanksgiving FEAST.  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, rolls with "butter", deviled egg, green olives, mac and cheese, a taste of cranberry, 12 oz Sam Adams, 12 oz Bell's Winter White Ale, a couple bites of candy, piece of lemon meringue pie, bite of apple pie

Oh, yes.  And yeah I had seconds.  And pie.

That plate was loaded.  And I went back for more.  I especially love the basics - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy.  Yum.

Exercise:  Nope.  Moved around quite a bit doing stuff at home but not enough to count.
