Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good in Scotland even though it was just a normal day. School, work, and more school. I had another lecture tonight and while I was gone Krisy cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I walked in to see something that floored me. Delaney playing with the computer on the kitchen table. Thats right. She got a CD-Rom learning/coloring program from Grammie and she took right to it.

Here she is planning for a career in graphic design by shading in some grapes. Look how grown up she looks.

It took a while for her to master the touch pad mouse, but now she is all over it. She can also play games on playhouse Disney's website. Again, look how grown up she looks!!!!

Back to Thanksgiving. Krisy was awesome once again. Cooking against all odds (very small oven, hard to find ingredients, not enough bowls and pots to go around) she triumphed! We had 1) Turkey steaks (oven would not hold whole turkey) 2) sweet potato casserole 3) green beans 4) mashed potatos 5) stuffing balls (see below) 6) Bread 7) and gravy...mmmmm....sweet sweet gravy. For dessert Krisy made carmalized (sp?) apples to put over vanilla ice creame.

The afformentioned stuffing balls. She opted for this because we do not have two casserole dishes. Pretty smart, I thought. Pour some of that gravy over them and, man! You've got something good.

As awesome as the dessert was, Delaney went for an icee. Actually she ate a bowl of the ice creame and then said "I don't like this, can I have an icee?" We see right through her. Good way to get two desserts. But hey, what is Thanksgiving without two desserts. The Pilgrims would have wanted it that way.
