Happy Thanksgiving! I had a pretty lovely holiday, all in all - I baked all morning, although I wasn't perfectly satisfied with the results (I think I need to switch back to the other gluten free flour blend I sometimes use). The chocolate chip chewies were v. tasty, as usual, but I thought my pumpkin cupcakes were a little too dense. Ah, well, c'est la vie.
After baking, I had just enough time to shower before going out to mom and dad's for dinner (aka lunch). my sister and her husband came as well, and we had approximately a million pounds of turkey, along with the usual suspects (mashed potatoes, corn casserole, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, gravy, etc.). It was a really lovely lunch, and it filled me up enough that I forgot to eat supper, so I would say it was a success.
After [censored] and I got back to my house, I sat around for awhile and dozed off briefly, before watching Iowa State men's basketball play in a Thanksgiving invitational (they pulled off a v. impressive come-from-behind victory after being less than impressive earlier in the game). And then I spent the rest of the evening doing some writing work, journaling, etc.
And now, I need to go to bed so that I can continue the festivities tomorrow - goodnight!
