Most turkulent

Thanksgiving was a success. We had a blast with a great crew of folks.

It's funny, but the more we all discussed Thanksgiving, and our wonderful company, we sort of came to the conclusion that maybe T'giving really is the best holiday. It's def a sleeper for me, but the older I get the more I realize the value of a great meal and some stellar people to share it with. I mean think about it- Xmas gets all the hype, but is always much more stressful, what with the buying of gifts, visits, parties, etc, etc. Thanking day is nothing more than hanging with folks you love and celebrating the finer things in life: each other and our fortunate situations to have massive feasts of delicacies. The food selection is almost redonkulous. Not too often you have a three way duel on top sweet potato dish, is it? Our dessert stash alone was impressive. I was fortunately real hungry and able to mow some of everything....going way deep and hitting multi-dessert sessions to round out the primo meal.

T'giving gets my vote. We had a HUGE spread and the turkulescense meter was pegged on 'lots'. The brine turk seemed moister- but it wasn't a whole ton diff than a nicely cooked bird, so as I could tell. Regardless, it was real good. Everything was. We sure missed our family traditions for this one, but really enjoyed the mellow-ness of it all, and found ourselves nicely surprised with our 'friend-giving'.

Also nice to finally turn the corner: realize life is about enjoying the moment and Turkleday is really just that. Enjoy it, people, it's what it's all about. Give whoever is next to you a hug.
