darchildreThanksgiving is under way. Thanksgiving has properly been underway since this morning (or yesterday, really, since that's when the pie was made.) The turkey is out of the oven, the stuffing is in, the rolls are waiting to be baked, and I am roasting vegetables. That and the rolls are my contribution to the meal, and I'm making roasted cauliflower and broccoli with bacon and garlic because delicious. And either the garlic was not very garlicky or that thing where you rub your hands on stainless steel and they lose the garlic smell is actually true because my hands are remarkably ungarlic-scented. That stainless steel thing seems like black magic, though.
This is the first Thanksgiving I can remember where it's just me and my parents. The California Contingent is doing their own thing down in Santa Barbara and none of the other relatives are at our place this year. It's a little weird being less than at least five, and it means thinking about scaling down a little bit, but it's kinda nice too. I mean, I miss Megan and Katie a whole lot but it being just the three of us means the day is pretty informal, with people snacking on the deviled eggs and spinach squares whenever they feel like it instead of waiting for Official Dinner Time. And we had pie last night, so that's something.
I hope everybody out there who celebrates is having a good Thanksgiving and that your turkey (or choice of alternative main dish) is delicious.
