Día de dar las gracias
Note to self: We have not killed each other on Thanksgiving Day, yet.
My family has the Thanksgiving meal in the evening. We were hoping to have it at around 6pm, but nothing goes as planned here, so like clock work, it will probably happen around 7:30 or 8. Two family members are already moaning about missing Ugly Betty.
The menu for this evening is turkey. My mom made this new dish using cranberries and jello that I'm actually curious to try. There will be the usual stuffing (yuck), and yams with marshmellows. I tried making the latter a few weeks ago, and I ended up adding too much pineapple concentrate. Fortunately, no other palettes were harmed in the process.
For now I'm trying to convince my mom to add a simple salad to the menu to balance things out because apart from the food just mentioned, gravy isn't going to cut it. And then there is the pie. For any sweetaholic, tonight would be their type of heaven. I'm just trying to make up my mind.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
