Thanksgiving Tidbits

This Thanksgiving had a very Yin and Yang vibe.  The downside of this year was that my poor mom who was visiting fell sick with the flu on the big day.  The upside was that Will, Vivi and I chilled at home while we cooked a yummy Thanksgiving dinner which we have been eating for days.  With the extra family time, we were able to capture Vivi in one of her finest Toddler Moments to date.




The other thing I was able to do with the help of my DVR and the extra time at home was to watch the entire Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  I will never watch it live again!  I was able to fast forward through the current cheesy teeny bopper bands to my old school cheesy teeny bopper hearthrob Rick Astley.  After wondering what the hell I had witnessed for about five hours, I went out with my Catholic High School gang and their Sig O's  and found out that I had gotten RickRolled.  To celebrate Rick Astley's new found cultural relevnace, I helped lead a verse or two from Rick's smash hits, "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Together Forever."  Thank goodness the bar was very loud and none of the other tables seemed to mind.

Here are links to two of my favorite recipes from our Thanksgiving Feast:
