Turkey Day

What a day! I got to tell Kristi Happy Birthday. We all enjoyed the smells of thanksgiving cooking. Green tomato gratin involves cooking bacon and sautéeing onions (not to mention melting cheddar) are some super awesome olfactory pleasures. Then there was the sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and pecans baking. Oh, wow.

Of course the obligatory road trip. Over the river twice (and the other river, and a lake) and through two or three woods to Aunt Becky's. Got to see all the Atlanta locals; Suzy, Becky, Randy, Pat, Sam, Mom, and Dad plus the Yankee (Kennedy). We enjoyed all the food and everyone set aside most of their dietary restrictions (ala sugar) to enjoy the fine food on hand. Randy's cranberry sauce was MOST awesome.
