The day AFTER thanksgiving...a day to..
1.) Recover from food coma.
2.) Reflect on the time you had around the dinner table, realizing that you truly do have the best family in the world.
3.) Be one of those people who gets up at 4am, doesn't shower, and waits in the dead of winter outside of their favorite department store, coffee in hand,shoes laced, anxiously waiting to knock down anything and everyone who stands in the way of them and their BIG SALE. It sounds revolutionary and awesome and all, but that is SO not me. I prefer to casually wake up at a decent hour, eat a few bites of leftover stuffing and pumpkin pie for breakfast...but I do love hearing the stories..YAY for the $5.00 you saved!!
We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year...it was a great motivation to clean, decorate, and shove things in closets (which is 90% of of what real "cleaning" is, right?) My dad cooked up an amazing menu yesterday..which YES, was as delectable as it sounds...I thought I would post the menu so you could all start scheming for next year, on how you can end up at OUR table for Thanksgiving...Thank you Daddy, It's the meal that keeps on giving..
