So, another day to give thanks to God that the pilgrims didn't die of starvation. Anyone making anything out of the ordinary today? Feel free to share any amusing occurances, too.

I'm going to celebrate the lesser-known side of my heritage with Nova Scotia Blueberry Cream cake...which has several grams of cholesterol in every slice, I'm sure. A stick of butter and 2 cups of sour cream don't make for a healthy snack.

Well this Thanksgiving was actually better than others. I usually just sit there and eat mashed potatoes because I hate everything else. But this year I went out on a loop and tried more of my grandmothers cooking and wondered why I missed out on it all these years.

It was also my 11 month year old niece's first Thanksgiving.

(Look how darling, ignore my ugly sister in the background)


She kept playing hide and seek with me with her place mat.

Then I got a text from my friend Emmy asking if she could spend the night Saturday (today). I was super stoked because she lives out in Bowling Green (two hours away) and I haven't seen her in months.
