We had Thanksgiving dinner one day earlier due to our travel/game schedules. It was great having dinner with family, immediate and extended, with some great food. The menu was all about quality vs quantity - a Turduckin from Hebert’s (the alleged creator of Turduckins), Green Beans w/ Carmelized Onions, my mom’s divine Sweet Potatoes (crumble topping, no marshmellows), Cranberries in a Bordeaux reduction and some fantastic store-bought rolls. For dessert, we had a Pumpkin Tart which my aunt put together as well as the hands-down, best Apple Pie I’ve ever tasted courtesy of Heritage Pie Company in Jasper, TX.
At the request of my mother, we each went around the table and said at least one thing we were thankful for this year. I’m thankful for many things but most notably my family’s unyielding support throughout my accomplishments, failures and challenges this year while transitioning to my new life in New York.
Those sentiments extend, naturally, to all of my friends and loved ones who have supported me as well. Happy Thanksgiving…
