It’s Thanksgiving, my 2nd most favorite holiday of the year!!!

Things I’m thankful for:

• my health – no H1N1 yet!!
• my job – hooray for regular paychecks in a down economy!
• my family’s health – parents are thriving, husband is exercising again, and brother/joy are super happy and in love
• plenty of friends around me at home and at work – they keep me sane
• my dog – keeps me entertained and gets me out the door at least twice per day

The turkey is in the oven and all the ingredients for the sides are waiting their turn for a trip to the stove.  We’re making dinner for the Masayas and Yuans this year and the menu is complete with all the regular fixings.

Just in case you can’t read the chef’s writing, the menu is as follows:

Roasted Turkey

Shiitake Mushroom Gravy

Haricot Verts

Mashed Potatoes

Baked Sweet Potatoes

Spinach Salad

Cranberry Compote

Baked Ham

Creamed Corn

Crescent Rolls

Stuffing
