I spent about an hour tonight cutting veggies. Celery, radishes, green peppers, broccoli.... Loads of fun. Don't get me wrong- I don't mind, but it sure was boring.
Traditionally, the Alexander side of my family all gathers on Thanksgiving day at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Grandma usually goes crazy, cooking a ton of awesome food. We all stuff ourselves senseless, then just hang out for a few hours. This year will be different. Grandma's health has not been so good recently. She had a brief stay at the local hospital due to some breathing problems, and she's now on Oxygen most of the time. Seeing how Oxygen is fairly flammable, she can't spend a lot of time around the stove. This year, we're all chipping in and bringing the food to them. Bob and Sandy are bringing a ham, Mom's bringing a turkey (which will be deep fried- freaking awesome, in case you're wondering), and we're bringing the veggie tray and a sweet potato dish. We're trying to be vegetarian friendly for Steph, but it's sometimes easy for people to forget that she just can't eat the same food as everyone else.
I should have some shots from tomorrow to share, especially for my readers in Morro Bay....
