Today I've been informed is Black Friday, the first big shopping day of the 
holiday season and indeed, we have just came back from shopping at a nearby MegaMall. So.....Happy Black Friday. Uncle Mike, who came to visit yesterday morning, went to the Home Depot to shop, Elroy is playing computer games and Jane and Judy are napping--so it's quiet now.

Uncle Mike, who came to visit yesterday morning, went to the Home Depot to shop, Elroy is playing computer games and Jane and Judy are napping--so it's quiet now. Reflecting on yesterday, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We ate our Thanksgiving meal early, around 1 pm, and then went to see Casino Royale--the new James Bond movie. After the movie we came back home for dessert and watched the end of the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Bucaneers game. The movie was pretty good, the new James Bond is a real hunk--Jane mentioned that I closely resemble the actor Daniel Craig who portrays Bond. So that was cool.....just kidding.
Speaking of good-looking hunks, for this year's Than
ksgiving meal we had turkey breast roll stuffed with italian sausage with extra garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme (see picture at left). No parsley. This was really good; moist and juicy with interesting flavors emanating from the sausage and spices. And carving it was a snap! This was accompanied by a salad of field greens, grape tomatos and petite mozarella balls with a balsamic vinegarette, roasted garlic red-skin mashed potatos, green beans infused with orange citrus and cornbread stuffing with turkey gravey. Yum. It was pretty good, thanks go to Martha Stewart, Emeril L
aggase and Rachel Ray for excellent menu ideas. This nice meal (see picture below) was complimented with a nice beaujolais nouveau that Mike brought.

Jane was working on the computer, catching-up on some work (on the left in picture below), Mike was reading (on the right in picture below). Speaking of Mike he just got back from the Home Depot with a collection of tiles to make trivets from. Anyway, Jane had recently put up our holiday decorations--note the lights on the mantle, and the room felt very cozy. I hope my parents and everyone else had as nice a Thanksgiving.
