Thanksgiving 07


We enjoyed a restful 4-day weekend together for the Thanksgiving holiday. Rob and I prepared a fabulous meal which consisted of a smoked turkey from our grill and all of the traditional sides. We were pleased to be joined by our friends the Mramors, the Aubles, and Rob's coworker Salah. Miss Lilly (16 months) enjoyed playing with everyone, eating turkey and being herself.

It always amazes me how long it takes to prepare the meal, yet takes minimal time to eat it! The hit dessert of the day was a chocolate and peanut butter tart. I made it from a recipe from Fine Cooking magazine. It was basically a gigantic Reeses peanut butter cup. YUM!

For the rest of the weekend, we finished many projects around the house, watched our share of movies, enjoyed the cooler (75 degree) weather and cooked yummy meals. We both tried not to work on work things at all, though it was tempting. Four-day weekends are definitely appreciated around here!
