apple turnovers she used to make. That they started out with dried storebought
apples (which really stink as they're being rehydrated in hot water) is
amazing...

was the only woman in our family who made it just right:. she made the crust by
hand, rolling out the dough using a big Welch's grape juice bottle as the
rolling pin (Even though I bought her a fancy one, she never used it). She
always poured ice water into the dough mixture--from the can the peaches came
in (being from the country, Mom swore water tasted better in a metal can). In
keeping with the sophisticated rolling pin and beverage holder, her working
surface was made of tearing paper grocery bags, spreading them on the kitchen
table, dusting the paper with flower, then rolling the dough on it.
The cobbler, when done, was a thing of beauty: several layers of dough, soft in
the middle, crisp and dark brown on top. I'll certainly miss that...

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, and I thank you for the compliment.
Myself, before and after the hamfest (bird decided to take awhile longer to
cook, making himself ineligible for dinnertime), there has been football and
more football.
Pork chops and gravy...hey, I do live in the same county... ;D

family to me, and i've really enjoyed the many, many conversations on all kinds
of subjects. They've helped keep me going through some hard times this year.
Anyway, hope everyone is well and enjoying the company of friends and family.
Even those who don't really get into the holiday season, there's still an
importance in reflecting on the importance of family, outside the commercialism
and focus on the material things.
So what's everyone do for the day? Never a big fan of turkey, i asked my wife
if she'd serve up some of her great fried pork chops and gravy instead, which
is what i'm chowing down on right now. Not gonna tell you how many biscuits
I've downed sopping up that gravy. Back to the gym tomorrow! Also, had to have
my wife's homemade sweet potato pie! I'm going to cook a buttermilk chess pie
myself later. some of you may not know about "chess" pies, but trust me: good
eating! Since there's just the two of us here in Atlanta, we try to do a small
meal with few leftovers, then change the diet completely the day after
Thanksgiving. Typically we go out and eat Thai or Mexican the next day. I'm
thinking next year I'll want to do Italian or Mexican for the Thanksgiving meal
itself. Gotta keep the sweet potato and buttermilk pies, though.
I'm a huge sucker for all things Christmas: the music, the shopping crowds, the
spiced cider, smell of cinnamon and apples wafting through the mall, kids
running around almost overcome with excitement. So that means I'll be pulling
my groggy and grouchy wife out of the warm bed for a chilly trek to the stores
at 6 in the am. Might not buy a thing, but i love the shopping frenzy of Black
Friday!
Later the Christmas tree and decorations will get put up, and I'll move my
movie stash out of storage for holiday viewing: Charlie Brown Christmas,
Rudolph, Grinch, Year Without a Santa Claus, Little Drummer Boy, A Christmas
Carol (both the b&w classic film and the spooky as hell '70s cartoon).
Again, everyone be blessed and have fun.
Go Cowboys!
