Out on a limb, week 2...
Tuesday, November 20, 2007 at 06:46PM HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Whew. Yesterday was a very long day of travel. Got up at 3:15 am after maybe an hour of sleep (see my previous entries about how I left packing till the last minute)...headed to the airport on not-yet-plowed roads (thanks, Mother Nature, for deciding to snow 3 inches the day before Thanksgiving)...made our plane by minutes (maybe seconds...seriously, picture us sprinting through the airport and security and all (yes, with all three boys, a stroller and a carseat plus our 6 or 7 carry-ons) only to catch the doors just before closing so that we were the last ones on the plane)...waited on the ground for 1.5 hours while the plane got de-iced (again, Mother Nature, good timing)...then made it to Seattle finally, where we again sprinted through baggage claim and to the shuttle pick up (having arrived late, we didn't have the layover we'd thought)...fortunately, the shuttle was delayed so we had time to grab some food before boarding the bus and riding for 4 hours or so to Yakima. Did I say whew already? Anyhow. We're in Prosser now. I'm going to go make some deviled eggs shortly. :)
So. Out on a limb, week 2. Today, being Thanksgiving, is a natural time to stop and think about food. What were your loved one’s favorite foods? Now that he/she is gone, are there certain foods that always make you think of him/her? My dad loved food. Truly. I could do an entire mini album on foods he loved and memories each of them conjures for me today. Hmmmm…methinks I feel a project coming on…
Going back to last week’s bonus challenge…make sure you get a picture of you and your significant other this holiday. Take a moment and jot down where this relationship stands right now. Here’s one I did about a year ago (sorry, with the holiday and traveling, I didn’t have time to do a current one in advance, though I’ll definitely do one when I get home, okay?):
Well, back to food prep...hope you're having a fabulous Thanksgiving!
