well we all seem to be healthy enough (finally!) to imbide to the gills on turkey day.

joanna and ken arrived monday night bearing a 2 lb box of nuts and chews. BE STILL MY HEART! we've been hanging out, letting joanna get to know her new niece, and just generally having a good time. today, i hopefully get let out of work early and get to just hang with her for the afternoon.

tomorrow we head over to the livingston-fosters' house for the big meal. we're bringing pumpkin pies, this yummy spinach/broccoli/cream cheese dish that is always a hit (and quite possibly the only green vegetable on the table for these occasions), as well as auntie bev's famous egg nog. the egg nog is a tradition at pillsbury thanksgivings and i couldn't make it last year because i couldn't have any raw eggs (i was pregnant). this year, however, i get to indulge! the ingredients are basically eggs, whole milk, half and half, whipping cream and powdered sugar, topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg and brandy, if you like it 'with'. how can you go wrong with all the creamy yummy goodness?

in anycase, probably won't be posting for the rest of the weekend because of spending time eating, knitting and visiting with family members, so see you next week! happy turkey day!
