Awwwww, too bad about that work thing but we’ll save your meal in the oven. New this year will be the surstromming chaud-froid avec sauce au Stilton. Reviews on the side dish are mixed, three testers still haven’t regained consciousness, but there should be enough left over for a nice lunch on Friday. General opinion is that it tastes like aspic.

Former bossman called me an hour ago, invited me over to his yearly dinner, at either his or his dad’s house. I said, “hold on a second, I’ll be down”, because they were at the restaurant, making turkey stuffing, he and his dad.
I was there in about a minute, and talked with them for a while, as they worked.
I declined, said I had other plans with other people. I don’t.
I knew he would call me today, and I told him that. He smiled bigly. So thankful for this man.
Many of you know he was not the model bossman, nor was I the model employee, but he is blessed, and a blessing, still. I had to leave his employ after 9 years, but I love the guy greatly. Most days, when he pulls up, we chat about business and life, and I help him unload his truck. Now he doesn’t even have to pay me.
I’ve spent 8 of the last ten Thanksgiving dinners at his house, or his dad’s, or his brother’s.
Today I’m looking at an empty parking lot, and thankful for all these years I’ve been given, and all these people. So many blessings, all these people.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

Tomorrow is my 76 Birthday…so every Thanksgiving and Christmas spent with family is precious. Before dinner and after the blessing, I had the video of Dennis Prager presentation to the “Key to Unhappiness”….and everyone agreed that “Gratitude as the source of happiness was a new perspective and it did not get shot down as all preachy…
No discussion of politics, and no deep philosophy or religious discussion…but lots of living and thriving together talk…and deep gratitude that our nation seems headed to a better place now.

I upped the cinnamon (personal taste) and added allspice. :Peanut oil works just fine and instead of white I used raw sugar…more depth. Brown sugar should work too.
I roast my own sweets, 350 until soft soft, let ’em cool and skin falls right off. Much better taste than those flat, over-processed canned ones. Going to play with palm sugar and honey instead of sugar…sigh, what a sacrifice having to eat the try-outs.

I bake potatoes myself at 350 until they are soft. Let ’em cool and the skin just slips off…you also don’t get the taste changes from the commercial prep/canning process.
I upped the cinnamon (amount your choice per individual taste), used a teaspoon of nutmeg and added allspice (again, amount your choice, you can always eat the test batch). I used raw sugar but I guess you could use brown, white sugar has sweet but no depth. Gonna play around with honey to see how that works.
