Happy Thanksgiving!

Fuego and I hosted nine people tonight... I cooked... we ate... it was good.

This being my fifth year in a row hosting Thanksgiving, I've gotten pretty used to the preparations -- plus, this year CB and Mighty8bit offered to bring salad and pies (wow they were good!), so I didn't have to start cooking until this morning at about 7. DJ Purgatory brought cranberry sauce (a special family recipie), Senior Drakes brought wine, Mom and Woodelf brought pickles olives, and soft drinks, and Some-of-the-time-girlfriend brought his sparkling personality and strikingly good looks ;o)

I made Turkey, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, and scalloped corn, and Fuego made brussel sprouts.

It was a really odd combination of social circles and personalities, but somehow it all worked great.

DJ Purgatory brought his family tradition of going around the table and each sharing something we're thankful for, and then after dinner we all played Apples to Apples.

All in all, it was a really awesome Thanksgiving... though this year Brohead and Cocktail Monkey couldn't make it -- they were at a friend's house -- but maybe next year.

Cheers!
