Thanks for the Giving!

Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone.   Personally, I'm still in shock from how much food we consumed.  My family went to a nice hotel that was having a thanksgiving feast, it was excellent.   Everything you could want and a whole turkey on top of it! ;)  As well, once we were done eating, everyone just gets up, and goes home, and no one is stuck cleaning for another several hours.

The only downside I could come up with, was that it's much farther from the hotel back to the couch, than it is from the kitchen to the couch.  So that's unfortunate. (They didn't have couches set up that you could pass out on and watch football.)

I did have my first banana's foster made right in front of me though, which was excellent.  It's a relatively simple dessert, and I think the wife and I will be making them at home soon.   Yummy flambe!

 

Beyond that, I've been trying to get online to play some Halo 2 with the bro (he pulled me out of gears of war), but turns out now you have to freaking download the add-on maps, since they're in standard rotation.  So I'm about 20 min into downloading all this crap, once that's done it'll be game time. 

He really needs to get a 360, I want to play some Gears!! :)

Dude. They DID have couches there, but you can't hang out in a hotel lobby in your jammies. They (ahem) look down on that.

But it really was very very good. My bummer was 'no leftovers'. I usually eat for a week for relatively FREE after Thanksgiving. So that's my 'bummer' moment. It was mighty tasty.

It was fun visiting with you and the Mrs., and I TOTALLY want to be there when you make Bananas Foster at home. TOTALLY. I'll be the one with the fire extinguisher, and the q-tip with ointment on it, when you singe off your eyebrows. Well, once I get up off the floor from laughing so hard. :D

What the hell? I'm just referred to as "the wife"?! Take some ownership. Call me "my wife" or "my darling sweetest reason to be."
