Thanksgiving, Part 1 of 3
A few years ago, my extended family started having its Thanksgiving gathering on Friday, mostly because for two of my cousins, Thanksgiving Day is the big event on the other side of their family, and everyone wanted them to join us. That frees up Thanksgiving Day proper for T and I to spend with friends, and this year we went down to SE and SF for a delicious chicken dinner. We brought an appetizer spread (including red pepper and walnut dip that I made from scratch), shrimp potstickers, and spice cake with cream cheese frosting, all of which was well received. A pleasant afternoon and evening of cooking, relaxing, and chatting.
Tomorrow we go to Sacramento for our family dinner, and then our third Thanksgiving will our traditional friendsgiving on Sunday, one of the staples of our annual calendar and an event I look forward to all year. Much feasting, many more excellent people to see. Some of the reasons Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.
I hope everyone who celebrates had a good holiday, and happy Thursday to all!
