Thanksgiving Day

Well, the pecan pie is cooked and now the corn souffle is the oven - toaster oven - that is! Yup, I cook everything in an oversized toaster oven or microwave because there is NOT an oven in this house. Most Mexican food is cooked on a stove top and I DO have a 6 burner.
When I moved here this became part of the adventure.............what would I NOT be able to cook here in my little casa? Well, so far, the only thing has been a big turkey.
So today, I'm heading to son John and new daughter-in-law Lisa's house for Thanksgiving. All I have to bring is the pie, the souffle and the dinner rolls. Seems weird after having cooked BIG Thanksgiving dinners for at least 40 years.............but it's nice too.
I actually SAT down and watched some of the Macy's parade which in past years I never had time for...............hope all the grandkids saw the parade!
So, I hope wherever you are and whoever you are with that you're with friends or family and enjoying this great day that's set aside for us to count our blessings.
