The dinner was a complete success and if I may toot my own horn, almost everything tasted just like many of the family recipes. The house smelled wonderful, and it was a three-hour affair. Everyone was stuffed. How full? When the visiting Lad and I turned in, we bypassed sex!!! But the bird!!!

It also came up about a funny story about our late dog Lilith who was a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She was a great lover of turkey, so I do reckon Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday, and turkey being her favorite treat. But overall, she was what I called a kitchen dog. ALWAYS in the kitchen when cooking was being done. We recalled one year, years back, where her patience and persistence were on display for almost the full four hours the turkey roasted...and would not let the oven out of her sight, till the bird emerged at long last.
What a riot she was, and she always got some. Good times!
In other news, my cousin Frankie proposed to his girlfriend over the pumpkin pie last night during dessert. So there was that excitement!
wow... an engagement
ReplyDeleteSkipped sex, that must have been some dinner.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous dinner, no sex, and a proposal. What a day! The series of photos of Lilith are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAs an elderly person, for quite some time I have been unable to engage in bedtime frolics after eating a good meal. It just occurred to me that might make you feel old, but I'm not deleting it. Your turkey looks perfect. How adorable to see photos of the waiting doggy. We used to have F. Cat Fitzgerald, who worshipped turkey and would nearly be out of her mind with joy when the turkey was done. And a proposal! I hope she said yes.
