Such a lovely holiday
Really. It was just perfectly fabulous.
I had family come to my house for dinner on Sunday. The food turned out to be very yummy - my turkey came out very good! I roast my turkey in a brown paper bag, the way my mom has always done it. I ended up making way too much food, of course, and then later realized I don’t actually have any dinner plates. Or more than two chairs.
We ended up having dinner using salad plates - how do you like THAT for portion control? It’s very hard to stuff yourself when you only have a tiny plate to work with. I guess I don’t have many big gatherings where we are all expected to actually sit at the table and eat off of real dinnerware - as opposed to paper.
No matter though. We managed and the food was very good and my mom happens to have a full set of dinnerware with enough for eight place settings so - problem solved!
Kiddo was very pleased with his gifts - the lego set from Grandma and Grandpa went over particularly well.
I am back at work today, and really missing the time off I used to take this week. At least it’s a short week, and next week as well, so that’s something.
