Glad to hear that you survived and seem to be okay again!

Especially, the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.

Ambulance responding to emergency call has taken me into the only Moscow hospital from several dozen where they perform the kind of abdominal surgery capable to save my life. Usually ambulances are dispatched to the nearest hospital with free beds, which happened to me several times, so I know the routine, but this time was different and I was routed to the other side of a huge megapolis. After operation lasting 4 hours the surgeon talked to my wife, and she found him absolutely exhausted and barely capable to speak, but proud to having performed another medical miracle.

So my girlfriend and I did a small dinner for her: A first course of fresh oysters. Roast duck with stuffing, braised cabbage, cranberry relish, mashed potatoes and gravy. Dessert was pecan pie with whipped cream (my girlfriend keeps it from being sugar shock sweet with a good shot of bourbon in the recipe).

With all that on the table, I had no problem finding things to give thanks for.

It was a tasty meal for 6 adults and 5 grandchildren. Breakfast will be leftovers.

Be of good cheer.

I find that as I age, each day brings me more and more to be thankful for. I wish the same for our hostess and all commenters here.

Eh – see how it comes out in various entrees made with leftover turkey. Thanksgiving really isn’t over until the last of the turkey is gone… 😉

That sounds pretty yummy.
