Thanksgiving

Today was Thanksgiving and I guess I controlled myself relatively well as the heartburn is not too bad right now. All of Mindy's aunts, uncles, cousins were there so it was quite a full house. Two plates of food were devoured - turkey (both baked and fried); gravy; mashed potatoes; stuffing; beans; collard greens and my favourite - sweet potato casserole (which contains butter, sugar, brown sugar, pecans, coconut and a pinch of sweet potato!). Pumpkin pie, cake and ice cream for dessert and I was done. The football was quite average. The first game had Green Bay always in control but it was not as one sided as the 2nd match with Dallas destroying the Jets. After retiring upstairs for a brief nap then returning for a quick game of Taboo the day was done. I think we will be hitting some shops tomorrow for some Christmas shopping. Some good deals are there to be had but the crowds will be tough to deal with...
