our Thanksgiving

This wasn't the normal Thanksgiving for our family since we were traveling this year ON Thanksgiving. We've always traveled before and after, but not ON turkey day. Anyway... our lunch was from a fast food joint at the airport in Orlando. It was actually hot and good. I like me a fast food burger once every blue moon. So there ya go.

When we got back to our neck of the woods, the shuttle driver took us to our car and we made our way home on deserted streets. It was a little bit weird. We started unpacking and had things fairly under control by dinnertime. I made something boring with noodles and canned chicken. Fayn-CEE if I do say so myself. My two turkey day meals.. a burger and noodle somethin' or other.

But it was ok. Friday morning, I woke up early and went and got our kitty cat.. pictured above in my header. : ) And started putting together a mini-feast for the three of us. I bought one of those oven ready turkey breast jobber-do's and plopped that puppy in the oven. Easy-peezy! And got out my crumbled cornbread I pre-made for this occasion to make a small batch of homemade dressing. We had a nice little feast of turkey breast, dressing, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. Hmm... something is missing isn't it?!

Dessert! Well.. lemme tell ya.. when we were at Disney, we had what they call 'The Disney Dining Plan' and it's a little card that has all your meals including dessert pre-paid. It was very convenient. But it also meant we ate dessert with every meal. So we weren't all that sad that I hadn't pre-bought the stuff for pies or something like that. We're kinda tired of dessert. I know! Crazy, huh?!

So there ya have it. Probably the most unusual Turkey Day ever!
