Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
We went through a lot of food over the weekend…how about you? We are so blessed to have so much food. Amazing.
We had eight people join us at noon Thursday for our Thanksgiving meal. As I was putting all the final touches on the food that morning I was once again struck by this fact: I LOVE TO COOK.
Anytime I mention that fact to Matt, he nods, smiles and says, “Well, I love to eat.” Ah, everyone wins.
If you recall, the YC basketball team came over Thursday night. All I could think of while they were trailing in through my front door is: Am I really short or are they just really, really tall? And WOW could they eat. It was great!
Friday we kind of had a “eat whatever you want whenever you want it” kind of a day. As much as I love cooking….a day off from cooking was really great too.
By Saturday, we were feeling the need for some beef :)…plus we had done pretty good work on all of the leftovers. Time for Mama to cook again. We still have turkey, which I’m working into this week’s menu. Other than that, we have the fridge pretty well cleaned out!
