I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} merryperseis came over to join purpleglitter and I in the livingroom. She had never seen our new place before and she arrived with perfect timing – just 10 minutes before dinnerI cooked portobello and artichoke stuffing, corn on the cob, baked homemade macaroni and cheese, edamame, and a pumpkin and carrot pie that turned out to be more of a pumpkin and carrot pudding — but still quite good, if I do say so myself. We all stuffed ourselves silly and had a good and mellow evening. Good company and too much food is how Thanksgiving is meant to be. | |||||||||||||||||

The Thanksgiving Potluck was small and cosy, as expected. The improvised stuffing turned out better than I expected. We've decided to call it "heathen stuffing". I'll be posting a recipe for it sometime in the near future. Sitting at the table with wine and food and friends is what Thanksgiving is all about for me. Stuffed bellies and smiling faces. Warm happy memories to keep close by in the approaching dreariness of January and February. ----- After dinner, we watched The Others, a wonderful movie I'd seen before but was happy to see again. We then watched the Eddie Izzard tape Mitzi brought over. I'd never seen Eddie Izzard before, and I must say he is incredibly funny. Mitzi has impeccable taste in comedy. I'm definitely going to try to see more tapes of his stand up routines. | |||||||||||||||||

I finally found my invisibility glasses. I promised them to a friend, but couldn't find them in the multitude of unpacked boxes. They were stuck in a bag with the blender, which merryperseis needed to make pumpkin pie. My friend will be very happy to finally receive the glasses.----- I'm looking forward to this evening's potluck. It's going to be small and cosy. A few really good friends sharing some really good food. I forgot to pick up shiitake mushrooms for the shiitake artichoke stuffing, so I'm going to have to improvise. Luckily, improvisation is my forté. | |||||||||||||||||

Thanksgiving dinner went well. Pams and Paonia came over. I want to see more of my new friends. I find I really enjoy talking to them. Pams and Paonia brought this wonder kugel. I'd never had kugel before, and I thought it was fabulous. They even left me some. Well, there goes my diet for the next day or two. I've really just got to stop worrying about such things. After dinner we watched Chocolat. Pams and Paonia had never seen it, and I had a feeling they'd like it. I gave Pams and Paonia some wish pods on their way out. They really liked them. Oh yeah, my stuffing went over well. | |||||||||||||||||
