Life in the Cheese Drawer

i think this was the best thanksgiving, cooking wise. there is something to just getting a pre-cooked chicken. the most involved thing i made was the stuffing, and that wasn’t horrible!

jane showed up wednesday night after i had made my pies and tart, and the dressing was cooking. (i made two pumpkin pies and put one in the freezer for when winter is annoying and i need a treat.) and thursday? we went to the turkey trot and walked two miles, came home, and we just sort of snacked all day. we made a cheese board and ate smoked oysters, crackers, dips, while we tried to watch the macy’s day parade on youtube.

then we just watched friends thanksgiving episodes and napped. no stress! no being fancy! when it came time to eat an actual meal, i just warmed up a bunch of stuff and we ate in the living room watching more friends.

and of course the evening was topped off with die hard because how can you not.

i was doing well with the not overeating to the point of lolling in pain on the couch, but i drank a giant glass of water before i went to bed and that was a mistake. at least it was water and not the last bites of pumpkin pie.
