Way delayed
Man, I don't know what's gotten into me. I've been lazy and lame about posting anything here, just haven't been "feeling" it or "seeing" it much over the last week or so. We had a killer Thanksgiving last week, despite having to work the day after. Big ups to the local media for perpetuating the fucking hysteria of holiday sales. Jesus, what a bunch of jackals.
Kerry's folks and brother Rian came over; She and I (she did most of the work; I'm more of a sous chef in the kitchen operation) did the bird and some veggies, her mom brought the stuffing and Rian the goat cheese dip. Our oven is so small, it sucks. We had to cram everthing in rather snugly.
Kerry managed to blow out some serious pies the night before. Speaking of which, there was a time when I would go out on that night lose my fucking mind, get totally plowed and stay up until dawn. Now it's a bunch of overhype, 20-something shitheads trying to make whatever scene they think they abandoned by going away to college. I stayed home and helped make pies. And I was much happier doing it.
Kerry also took care of the table, which I thought, in its classic understated nature, looked charming.
