Post Thanksgiving Bliss
So we had the traditional turkey, and home make corn bread stuffing, which is my job to do (yes... it's home made corn bread with sausage and sage and other stuff oh my!).
But my crazy (in a good way) momma wanted to change things up a bit. This year's big hits were a frilled romaine salad (a shot out for dad on the grill), and a complicated but delicious butternut squash and apple casserole. We have to find ways to simplify that one, but gosh it was good. It may have been the Arkansas Black apples.
There was no pumpkin pie either. The staple of all staples was replaced by a pineapple upside down spice cake. Momma was surely inventive.
It's the only time of year we all four get together. I think the tryptophan in the turkey lulls us into good behavior. Whatever. Fat and happy.... it's always worth the trip home.
