Thanksgiving was five star

Thanksgiving was just lovely, all the food hot at once, the game hen plump and tenders and juicy. 

Before Handsome Son arrived with his share, Mike the Artist Contractor came over with home cooked, he's a great cook, additions for our table before he left for his own gathering.

A helping each of the best mac n cheese I've ever had, and a container of sweet potato in maple syrup with a topping.  

Chocolate chip soft cookies, warm, so good.

Handsome Son had brought pumpkin pie and cream, garlic potatoes, assorted crackers and cheeses and ginger ale.

I did the game hen, cranberry sauce, green beans and corn.  So we had a feast.

We simplified everything years ago, no fancy serving plates, just serve ourselves from the stove top, leaving the rest of the food in the warm oven so second helpings are still hot. 

This works better than the serving dishes which looked festive, and where the food would cool and need to be reheated.

HS went home with a good bit of the pie, cream and cookies. 

Since I don't need auto stuff now, I also added in my battery jump-starting kit and a quart of oil I'd had in reserve.  

He left quite pleased with his haul. 

A good day was had by all. Oh, a pome.

I spent the evening darning the warm socks, now more and more darn

while I listened to Reverend Richard reading his own Murder before Evensong.

Happy day everyone, I hope your day whether a holiday or just a Thursday, was good.  Sez Ted and Big Ursy
