Beloved, I hope your Thanksgiving was both meaningful and rich. Ours was wonderful on this end. I'd begun preparations on Monday, and was in the kitchen all week, it seemed, having put in an 8 hour day in the kitchen on Wednesday. The work paid off, as we had more than enough delectible treats to enjoy, and our time with family was really good. It seems the baton has been passed to me now, and it's been that way for the past few years. We used to always meet at Ashunoah's grandparent's house for the holidays, and my mother-in-law did most of the cooking. Now it's my turn to host our holiday dinners, and I don't mind. I'm in my element in the kitchen, cooking and baking, up to my wrists in flour and chocolate, opening up cans, checking ingredients and tearing the kitchen up from the floor to the counters; it is a hot mess in there till I clean everything up. Thankfully, hubby is taking care of the cleanup today. We've got desserts and candies for days, not to mention food. Today is, technically, a serious rest day. And there is such beauty in that.Friday, November 28, 2008
