Happy Thanksgiving! to all my American friends.

And to everyone on my flist, I am thankful for you for all the fun, laughs, and support you give me. Thanks for playing along!

I'm spending the day at my cousin Jennifer's with my dad's family. (It is a HUGE family. Catholics--bah!) My mother made pumpkin pies, and I made an apple one. Erin (future sister-in-law) is making stuffing.

What is everyone else doing? What sort of yummy goodies are you making/looking forward to?

The key lime pie seems to have turned out okay, but I kind of overlooked the part where it has to chill for eight hours so I won't really know whether it's any good until I get up to their apartment again this weekend. (-; But, since it's just a graham cracker crust and some eggs, condensed milk, and lime juice I think I might just make another one for myself and see. (And juicing a million tiny limes is actually pretty fun.)

I haven't had a Thanksgiving with family for something like seven or eight years (I really can't believe it's been that long, omg). This is still one of only two years I haven't been holding my nose and just tolerating some people, though, even among friends (friends-of-friends aren't always the best holiday dinner companions. (-;) It's nice, but my family always did just-us Thanksgivings with the last of the things we took out of the garden, so I miss it like crazy.

Hope your Turkey Day was a fun one. ^_^

Now I think I might have to make a key lime for myself this weekend. Just to see. ;)

Ain't that the truth! There's one particular friend-of-a-friend in my circle who just recently moved out of state. All I can say is: SEE YA!

Is it too big of a trip to get home for Thanksgiving?

My day was nice! I still can't taste food properly, so that was a bummer, but it was nice to see my family, and no one got plastered and started an argument this year, so: bonus!
