by vivrant thang on happy thanksgiving

I had planned a long Thanksgiving post, talking about all the things I have to be thankful for. And there are many, some of which I’ll let you in on in future posts. However, after a long drive up here to Jersey to be with my Mom for the holidays and a day of cooking,  I don’t have it in me. Besides, I hope you’re spending time with your families and not roaming the blogosphere!

As much as I pretended to moan and groan, I actually enjoyed cooking all the sides. I cooked the macaroni and cheese (no Kraft here!), collard greens, string beans, and sweet potato pie. We got a pre-cooked Cajun turkey as we’re actually having dinner over someone else’s house and are sure to bring home plenty of leftovers! So there was really no need for us to cook a turkey. Judging by the pre-tasting, everything turned out delicious! I keep saying that I need to cook more “complete” meals and live less bachelorette-like. Maybe when I grow up someday.

In any event, I want to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the day with family and/or friends and “gobble until you wobble!” I am so thankful for each and every one of you that stop by and comment here and on my You Tube channel. You guys really keep me going.

As you’re sitting there with family and friends dranking and cutting up, I bet you’ll have a little of this playing in the background!

Family Reunion, O’jays
