My family hosted my nephew and his new bride for dinner. Chowder, ambrosia, turkey and dressing, scratch-made rolls (right down to grinding the wheat for the flour they were mae of), and pie of course.

We skyped with the rest of our extended family down near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

No discussion of Obama-nationCare darkened our dining hall in the slightest. No talking points were bandied about, and there was no applause or cops jumping out of bushes.No bongs were given nor accepted by anyone.

We are still eating Thanksgiving two days later.  We were only three, but I cooked for an army anyway.  Son said he wanted plenty of leftovers and got his wish.  Food was delicious Thursday.  Today, not so much.  LOL  We've only made it through a third of it.  :/  I will be taking it to the shop Monday hoping the crew might want some, but I suspect they will be tired of Turkey too.

Did the traditional Thanksgiving…

Turkey, brined and roasted with fresh herbs and oranges from my greenhouse.
Southern Cornbread Dressing with poblanos and portobellos added.
Turkey drippings and Portobello gravy with Madeira, a bit of Pink Moscato, and a splash of Hennessy.
Pea Salad for the men (What is it with the men in my family and nasty pea salad?) I added capers and pickled, hot             carrots in an attempt to make it edible for me.  They loved it.  Simply puke-arama to me.  Blech!
Mashed buttery sweet taters with ancho and cinnamon.
Mashed taters with butter and lotsa heavy whipping cream (Just to spite the Dummies.)
Green bean casserole for my son.
Corn for me.
BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!!  Sorry guys.  I love them.
Packaged dinner rolls per son's request.
Deviled eggs.
Cranberry-Pomegranate-Jalapeno sauce.
Pecan, Pumpkin, Cherry, and Lemon pies.
Vanilla Wafer cake.

Husband and son smoked Rockies after dinner.
I drank wine.  They drank port, wine, and finished off the bottle of Hennessy.

Fell into bed after I cleaned the mess and slept 8.5 hours without waking up once.

The only politics discussed was during the various phone calls from family and friends bitching about 0care and lawlessness.
