adrian_turtle came here for Thanksgiving with me and
cattitude. She got here after midnight Tuesday; we made the cranberry relish late Wednesday and did all the other cooking and food prep on Thursday. This year not only did we make dinner and enjoy eating it together, everything went smoothly. That's the advantage of both practice and having identified the specific rough spots from previous years; I think this is the ninth time the three of us have made a Thanksgiving dinner together. (One year when
roadnotes and
baldanders were living in Brooklyn, they had the three of us and her sister over for Thanksgiving at their apartment, but I don't think we did much cooking that year.)
This morning we slept in a little, and I went over to the fitness room and worked out after the morning tea and yogurt. We had leftover turkey and cranberry sandwiches for lunch; my beloveds are making beef-and-sweet-potato dumplings for dinner. I suspect we'll continue to have a low-key weekend before she goes home.
