November
is a sweet time of year for teachers. We get Veteran’s day off and three days
off for Thanksgiving. At this point in the year, I really needed time off to
relax.
My
mom went to visit Jennifer and Richard for Thanksgiving this year. Nathan and I
decided to host a small Thanksgiving at our house this year. So I made Thanksgiving
dinner for the Davaz family (Dennis, Nick, Nathan and myself).
With mom out of
town I was thankful for technology. I had to call mom so she could talk me through
making gravy and stuffing. Everything
turned out great. I had prep-help from Nathan (my sous chef) and from Dennis
mashed the potatoes.
We used the special occasion dishes to make the meal look even better. When it was time to eat, Nathan carved the turkey and we had
a wonderful, relaxing meal: green bean casserole, candied yams, stuffing,
mashed potatoes with gravy, rolls, turkey and cranberry sauce (a must have). After dinner we slipped into food coma and
watched a movie while we digested our exorbitantly high calorie intake…AKA make
room for dessert. When we could eat no
more, we divided up leftovers and called it a day. So many things to be
grateful for this year; I’m thankful for an amazing family, including the in-laws!
