Happy Thanksgiving



Now it's well into the afternoon - dinner is past the and THANKFUL all are at rest. Quite an eventful day - kind of THANKFUL it was just Jody and I.

I started the day in the kitchen first making biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I have the biscuit recipe in my head, a real easy recipe but apparently hard to remember today. The amount of flour was right but not enough milk and too much oil equals hockey pucks - THANKFUL that they were still edible. Next was Pecan Pie - THANKFUL for no issues there. Then came the sail bird, after 2 hours in the oven it was time to put foil over it to keep it from drying out. I opened the oven door and pulled the rack out a little turned to grab the foil and by the time I turned around the bird went sailing to the floor (THANKFUL the turkey stayed on it's back). THANKFUL that for once I did not have a dog under foot, gated the kitchen and Jody cleaned up the floor while I washed the bird. An hour and half later the bird was done and then put the dressing in the oven - THANKFUL for no tragedy there. Dressing finished baking, turned off the oven and then the oven started beeping and then some crazy code across the panel, Jody killed the power to it and turned the power back on and the panel started making a clicking noise and flashing - power off again, tried it a couple more times same result. THANKFUL for a home warranty - Jody went on line to schedule service.
If you think you have nothing to be THANKFUL for just relive your day and no matter how small the thanks are they are still there.
