ooooohhhhhhhh

that sounds divine

we had pumpkin pie

mine was mostly reddi whip

I had turkey. Corn. Lovely bit of coconut cake which I admit is not the most thanksgiving dessert

I have become the official turkey carver

At our friends' place, there were five different pies. I'm dyin'.

Thanksgiving is a testament to the human capacity to overindulge. I admit to liking that about it.

mom's hands shake too much

I get to take home all the dark meat

My sympathies to your mom, Catnik. 😞 Glad you scored some meat though

Important job...with appropriate compensation. 🙂

Yup. Honestly, to meta game it a bit, Clem is kicking herself they didn't think of Emu. Can you imagine how many turkeys are cooked at the DeBuke farm on thanksgiving?

oh lordy

SO many

Bird might be fascinated by the emu

but then, she has a place for thanksgiving, a new squire, and an art scholarship

HAPPY flutterpuff

Heh.

I wonder if Kerri will pull rank as Hearth and insist on cutting the Emu herself, or voluntold someone?

I've had ostrich but not emu

ostrich is very.... not fowl

hey - I had ostrich when I met Shady and Slugoot!

Coney restaurant had ostrich burgers back in those days

Not fowl? was it more like pork or beef?

beef-ish

lighter, a bit sweet?

Ha! Sorry, I dropped offline there.

NP. I have 2,700 words left on the Novel (Actually I have more than that to finish it, but to hit 50000, I'm that close)

Kerri has firmly instructed Frank in emu carving...but she'll pull rank if she sees a need. Brekke has no desire to get in the middle of this.

Husband hit 50,000 yesterday, but still has a fair way to go before the story is finished.

well, can finish at a more leisurely pace

Congrats to your hubby. It can be a bit overwhelming at times (has been for me)

Bird brought fancy coffee beans!

Sally Mae tried that. Brekke looked it funny and acted like it was a chore. Chuckle

Sorry! Brekke's very...well, I guess "traditional" about her coffee. I think the ones Sally Mae got were flavored? Like vanilla or something?

She didn't know what else to bring and isn't old enough to buy wine

well - coffee coffee. Not espresso.

🙂 It will be well-received. But I thought Sparrow was going with August, and Colton was coming to RV?

Frank invited Bird?

Desserts with Aug

Which is great, I just got confused. 🙂

it was a little up in the air for a bit

It's okay. Sally Mae has some variation available, but now knows to get Brekke what she likes.

Ah. Okay, to establish canon -- in the days before Thanksgiving, Kerri is a baking FIEND, and she delivers a pumpkin pie to each known fae household in the barony. She makes a large number of pumpkin tarts (bite sized) for Frank to take to a local soup kitchen.

Sally Mae's presence makes this MUCH easier than in previous years.

Does Sally Mae stay in RV for the holiday, or does she go back to the farm?

I imagine Sally Mae would help like crazy but for the actual meal be expected to head to the farm.

Then a pie goes with her.
