It was a quiet TG for us this year, with Mrs. SR013 and I cooking for ourselves and watching football. A couple of the highlights:
Violet ate the recipe for turkey that I had cut out of the newspaper and carefully saved since 2008. I’m still not sure how she got ‘hold of it.
We took the dogs for a walk down the road at midday in crisp weather, and got to pet the neighbor’s horses, who trotted up to the fence as we passed by.
We tried a new potato dish, a gratin with Sicilian influences, that was quite tasty. It’s made with chicken broth and no cream, so it’s a little lighter than most TG potato dishes.
We have a lot to be thankful for, but it’s particularly heartening to see how well GusGus is doing at the age of 12+. He scarfs his food, is quite spry around the yard and really seems to be enjoying life here in the country.
