Very nice photos Vixmom.  We ate with a photogropher last night and never had a single photo taken

Your mother looks very happy.

TWO!

What wonderful food photos and discussions!

Lovely posts!

DR VIXMOM - is that a dubbing cassette player on that table?

When we moved to New Jersey there weren't any Mexican restaurants, a concept that was foreign to us.  Fortunately I had an excellent enchilada recipe from the mother of a co-worker.

After moving to Massachussets the boys and I returned to visit a NJ friend.  She was very excited to take us to a new restaurant.  To my surprise & joy it was El Torito's.  If only they had opened up a couple of years earlier.

[Jane]

We didn't have Mexican food in Massachusetts either.

I had a very nice Thanksgiving celebration with family (of sorts).  I am only directly related to Butch, his daughter Ashley, his son Benjamin and Ashley's son Anderson.  I am an in-law relation to Clay Keller and his sons Cross, Cade and Stone.

The food was excellent, and Clay prepared the majority of it including dressing from his mother's recipe. It was very good. We had turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potato souffle, pineapple souffle, some sort of cheesy souffle and pecan pie for dessert.  There were two kinds of cranberries: Canned sauce and something Ashley whipped up.

Table conversation was lively, we all had a very good time, and Sharon, Butch and I left shortly before 3 pm.

I am now recovered, as it were, from the trip, the excess of good cheer and food, and ready to face my next challenge:  The drive out of town tomorrow to a funeral.  My cousin Debra and I wlll represent our moms at the funeral of the last close relation in the Brooks line of our family.  All remaining relations are 2nd and 3rd cousins and beyond.  This line of family is my maternal grandmother's family.

Sunday will be another day of recuperation followed by an evening of prepping for Monday morning's colonoscopy.

Oh.  Joy.

From a wonderful day, to a sad one, to an unpleasant one.  Hoping all goes well.

[Jane]

Slept 10 hours and am very happy about it.

Lovely.  I had a migraine last night which isn't completely gone yet.

Lazy work-related dreams. I got asked back to work at the newspaper. Everyone around me was welcoming me back. But I didn’t want the job offered. And nobody seemed to believe me when I said I wasn’t taking it.

This sounds like a positive dream to me.

TOD:

I have eight movies on reserve at the library that have come in. Can’t remember a single one except Oppenheimer.

We never finished watching it.  Keith would have continued but stopped as I wasn't thrilled with it.

[Jane]

Good Morning!  Happy "Day after" Thanksgiving.  Hope everyone has recovered nicely.  I'm off to Sausalito for the day with a few friends.  We'll see what we see - I've only ever been once.

Have a nice time.

[singdaw]

Perhaps I'll have something green.

I had a very nice 90-minute phone conversation this morning with my former boss who lives in Fremont CA.  We discussed many things.   He wasn't just a boss, he was and remains a good friend.

After discussing people and travels, we began talking about food.  I am now very hungry.

DR John G.'s ship has come in!

Except the library is closed today

Aren't they wonderful?

I've spent the past three hours tangling with the unrecorded dance music of "Very Soft Shoes," one of my favorite numbers in Once Upon a Mattress. It's long! Very very long.

DR Vixmom your side dishes looked very good.  What was in the Bowl & Basket?  I have never seen that before.

That’s vanilla ice cream , it’s the Shoprite supermarket’s own brand
