Thanksgiving 2020

Lots of skiing and turkey this week. On Thanksgiving day, we went exploring in the woods near Swampy.

I spent most of the time making the Bigs follow my zig-zaggy tracks and finding things to jump off. Sometimes over and over again.

After skiing, it was time to get cooking. Here I am making the mushroom soup for my world-famous green bean casserole (yes, The Bigs made me make mushroom soup and french onions from scratch. Don’t they know they sell these things in the store?):

The finished product:

We also had a spatchcocked heritage breed turkey, cooked on the grill. Hey, who you callin’ turkey?

We also had truffle mashed potatoes and white wine giblet gravy:

And, cranberry walnut bread:

I provided the table decorations:

I was happy:

and so was my belly:

Desert was pumpkin cashew ‘cheese’cake:

Lots more skiing this weekend:

And, lots more snacking:

Sometimes, I even get to go downhill:

And, occasionally, I hitch a ride back up (and Pop was worried about Dad getting enough exercise now that he doesn’t have to pull the Chariot!):

Looking sharp for my after-ski mini-van lunch:

In addition to being Ski Man, I am also Long-John Man. I have worn my long johns and my buff for four straight days now. The Bigs said I have to wear regular clothes to school tomorrow. On top of all that, I am also Christmas Man. We decorated our house the day after Thanksgiving:

Christmas Man’s room:

Yes, it is much too bright to sleep, but Christmas Man does not care. Christmas Man wrote his list for Santa:

I will send it with this letter:
