Thanksgiving has passed; turkey and sides are wrapped in the fridge for several more meals, the dishes are (mostly) clean, cars no longer line every spare inch of curb. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving - our mothers came as did several friends and one new face. A friend I haven't seen in a year or more even came by for a while after dropping me a surprise email earlier in the week. We drank wine at noon, spoiled each other with the food we made to share and laughed alot, in conversation and while playing Apples to Apples (seriously - this is a great party game - anyone can play and it's almost always funny).
Today, my mother and I indulged in our yearly Carolina Craftsman tradition. Though the crowd always annoys us, we can't resist checking out the latest craft fad. This year is was dichromatic glass, mostly jewelry, and wildlife photography. Among the most pleasant surprises were a photographer who shot the most amazing still lifes and a folk artist with one large piece that was Carmen Miranda meets Chicken of the Sea.
I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving as well.

I hereby declare the day after Thanksgiving Day as Indian Guilt Day. On that day we should remember the victimes of the Aztecs, Toltecs and Incas. Or the innocent settlers who were hacked to pieces by the Apaches. Did you know that one particular Indian Chief carried the scalps of only teen-age girls? And, let's not forget the torture victims of the Hurons and their kin.
Please plan a menu for this-maybe tomato aspic and red wine to symbolize the blood-thirsty natives of the great land. Happy Cooking.
It's hard to take anyone seriously who picks fights under the veil of anonymous comments - some of us are brave enough to state our opinions using our real names.
I think it's cute that your refer to yourself as a hot saturday night special (kinda violent?).. I think your more like a civil war mortar-lots of noise but kinda of target.
