Thanksgiving Day

Jeanne, Hubbers and I are winding down, but we have had a really fun, food filled day.  We didn't really plan the whole meal, we basically knew we wanted roasted veggies and the typical Turkey day foods.

Hubbers and I took turns playing with Jeanne, cooking and keeping up with the dishes.  We have so little counter top space (less than in MA somehow), it was imperative to stay on top of the dishes and clear off out island constantly.  Amazingly, with all the cooking my kitchen is cleaner, than it is on a normal day.

Breakfast included Western omelets and lemon poppy seed bread (recipe from new cookbook from mum).

Thanksgiving dinner included Turkey breast with sausage stuffing, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes with gravy (which was difficult, as those free range birds don't have a whole lotta fat, but hubbers got it done!), homemade cranberry sauce by mummy (I loved the cranberry sauce, but hubbers thought it was too tart). 

Dessert was pumpkin pie, and rice krispe treats for Jeanne (made with brown rice cereal), but Jeanne didn't like them, hubbers did though!  She did like the pumpkin pie, and really who doesn't?

Here are random photos and videos of Jeanne:

Jeanne missed her afternoon nap, and by them time we got in the car the sun was blinding her.  Sunglasses made her much more comfortable!

Stay close daddy.


I'll try to post again in a couple of days.
I hope you all had fantastic days with friends and family, I know I did.

Also, thanks to my family for skypeing with us, it was good to see everyone!
