Last time we were at the grocery store, we looked for Thanksgiving-y foods... but were disappointed with the prospects, so we had decided to go out for dinner to celebrate. But then... on Wednesday I got really upset and depressed about missing this American holiday meal. So Tyler, being the great guy that he is, went back to the store and got as many American/thanksgiving foods as he could find.
this is what I had to work with for dinner
this is what I made.
green bean casserole with croutons
mashed potatoes
turkey (but it was weird... it was not right and it was expensive)
cranberry juice
this is what I had to work with for dessert
this is what I made: apple crumble
not the same as pumpkin... but tasty
It was not the same as being at home... and was definitely not as good tasting as it would be at home. But it was the best we could do for what we have. When I was cooking I turned the Christmas tunes up really loud and pretended that it was snowing out, so the heat was turned up high enough to make the room seem hot. That helped. If I closed my eyes and did not look out the window, it almost felt like home. We really do have so much to be thankful for and had a good time naming as many things as we could think of. Parker is at the top of our list!

It looks like a great dinner Kelly and Tyler; especially the dessert!
Clare suggested that you guys have dinner with us tonight. She wants to put the computer at one of the place settings and then we can eat and visit with you.
Hey that looks like a great dinner!!!! We are trying not to burn our house down at the moment cooking the 40 pound bird your brother brought home....he is sooooo proud....I don't know Kelly....he is a keeper. We are thankful for both of you and that Tyler does such an amazing job taking care of our Kelly Belly! We couldn't ask for more...love you both!
