30 days of thankful: 25

Food and fellowship. Albeit a bit late, we were able celebrate Thanksgiving with a good ol' family dinner and subsequent football watching this evening. There is much to be thankful for, and on this day we are especially grateful for the essentials that God has provided us with - shelter, fuel for our bodies, and companionship.

Side-stepping ever so slightly from the "traditional" Thanksgiving menu, I spent the day in the kitchen attempting my first home cooked, unassisted holiday spread.

Our menu (top to bottom, left to right): Sweet Potato Casserole, Pumpkin Pie, Cranberry and Apple Stuffing, Sautéed Green Beans, Butternut Squash and Apple Soup, Baked Pumpkin Mac & Cheese. I'm pleased to report everything was not only edible but delicious, especially when paired with a few bottles of regional wine (thanks David!).

on to the next one...
