I survived the sprawling, delicious feast my mom made for Thanksgiving Day. The home-cooked meal was pretty rad, and yes, I had seconds. And then a teensy bit.
All the usual suspects were devoured, including turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, green bean casserole and rolls (two kinds). A fruit salad with blackberries, blueberries, pineapple et. al kept it a little "healthy," and the cabernet sauvignon was aplenty.
Pumpkin pie is an all-time favorite, and ours was fantastic. No store-bought crust here, but a flaky, golden crust made from scratch.
It was a wonderful meal! Thank you, mom.
