We made our yearly treck down the highway to visit my inlaws for Thanksgiving and it has been WONDERFUL! Somehow eating in Kentucky just seems different from Texas. I think it is because everything is cooked with LOVE. (not that it isn't at home, but I get to be pampered by food while I am here)
Hubby's Mom and grandmother cook for the whole crew while we are here and I try to cook a dinner the Friday after Thanksgiving, but always feel SO inadequate. :) Even Salmon Patties hold some magical power over my boys. They don't like eating them at home, but when Gran Gran says here you going honey .. they eat them all up. :)
I am most looking forward to Thanksgiving Day where I already know TOO MUCH is on the menu, but I don't think any of us would have it any other way.
Turkey, Ham, Greens, Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Potato Salad, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Pinto Beans, Cranberry Salad, Caramel Cake, Jam Cake, Custard, Cherry Delight, Sweet tea and of course, Gran Gran's famous rolls. (she really is famous for these ... even made the local paper).
Even I am on a new eating plan, I WILL have my seat at the table and step when the time is just right.
I am thankful for family, mine and his and the way we love each other .. especially through FOOD.
Happy Thanksgiving from my house to yours!
