Dinner 1: was at my parents, we arrived early to assist in preperations. My dad was frying the turkey and all was well until the fire went out and they couldn't get it re-lit. So the turkey headed inside to continue cooking and beverages were passed around. Thanks to skype we were able to see my sister and talk with her. Ian got to "play" with my cousins it was the 1st time they spent any real time together. Due to turkey glitch we ate about an hour later and all was well. We had all the typical turkey day foods: mashed potatos, sweet potatos, turkey, gravy, dressing, fresh green beans, rolls, pumpkin pie, and fudge. There might have been other things but you see I'm a picky eater and only had the following: turkey, both kinds of potatos, green beans and of course pumpkin pie.
Dinner 2: We left my parents soon after we ate, since the turkey glitch set us behind in our schedule everyone had to adjust. Thank goodness for understanding in-laws. We enjoyed some of the same foods we enjoyed at parents but also enjoyed homemade noodles, carrots, ham and some other stuff I don't like so I didn't pay attention. I know you're trying to figure out how one can be picky on Thanksgiving...I'm just a not fan. Turkey isn't really my thing either which I think makes it easier for me to not over eat. After dinner we all watched the movie Date Night which is a pretty funny movie and reminds me that we need a date night. Maybe that will happen in December. We headed home as Marcus had to work today, poor guy he did take Wednesday as a vacation day (we both had the day off although I still did some work) in which we cleaned the house as if we were having guests over and he worked on stuff for his jeep.
Overall the past 2 days have good and productive. I'm done being professional until Monday and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
