Happy Thanksgiving!

Down in North Carolina this week, making Thanksgiving dinner today for the extended family: two turkey breasts, a standard international shipping container load of cornbread dressing, the World's Best Carrot Salad, marinated "Chinese" vegetables (which are approximately as Chinese as my sainted mother, whose recipe this is), mashed potatoes, candied yams, green bean casserole, collard greens...

Anyway, I hope that everyone enjoys the parades, the football games, and of course the inevitable tryptophan coma, and has a wonderful Thanksgiving 2006.

Here's a picture from Thanksgiving 2005, chez enrevanche:

Kiss the cook.

One thing I'm thankful for is that I'm a few pounds lighter this year.
