It was ... interesting. Both Cindy and Adam are on some sort of diet. Adam smoked a
turkey breast and ham. Not sure what happened but the turkey tasted a little off to me.
Apparently he has some bugs to work out with this smoking thing. Then, they made the
mashed potatoes out of cauliflower. [pause with a very grouchy sidelong look]
The ham was good and since the stuffing was from a box, it also met expectations.
We played three games of Unstable Unicorns; very entertaining.

It was just my sister Cindy, her youngest son Adam, and me at our gathering.

Just my mom and me on Thanksgiving day, we were lazy and did turkey tv dinners. We had the big day on the Sat before with my son, dil (daughter-in-law), grandbabies and dil's parents at their house. I don't like left over turkey so was perfectly happy to let them make and keep the turkey. They're Egyptian so not your typical Thanksgiving dinner but good none the less. Daughter didn't make it because they had a Covid case where she works and even though she tested negative she didn't want to be around the babies just to make sure.

1. I did NOT put any on my plate.
2. I did NOT take any leftover turkey home. (and THAT is an indictment)
<We discussed it and it is a tossup as to whether it simply did not get hot enough
for the infused liquid to mingle with the turkey meat or there was too much water
in the pan or whatever. Basically, it was NOT GOOD. I would have traded it for your
family's take on Thanksgiving turkey; that is saying something...!>

worker / nursing home worker / whatever (my mom is one of them) - your daughter is a
hero in my estimation. GOOD FOR HER. If she makes it to celebrate Christmas with you,
God bless all of you.
