I've had mixed feelings about this being a holiday for awhile - what with celebrating colonization and all. We had a nice day though. For a few years, B's mom had wanted to host Thanksgiving, but B wanted us to bring the turkey. I refused to transport a hot turkey in the car, and so this meant showing up 3-5 hours earlier than when dinner was expected to start to make the turkey at her house. I asked why we couldn't just host.
This year B asked me to make two lasagnas, and I did. One was turkey and kale (fresh so I de-stemmed and used it like spinach). The other was cauliflower and eggplant. The tastes of both were good, but I didn't have enough sauce so they turned out a little on the drier side. I'll remember to add in more diced tomatoes to cut the jar sauce next time. I had already added in 5 cloves of garlic, half an onion, and a can of diced tomatoes plus a few extra spices to a large jar of pre-made Kroger sauce (though from Foods Co.), but I think it was too sweet and didn't have enough. Oh well. For awhile before Ro was born, I was making lasagnas weekly with veggies we got from a produce box subscription. I might start doing it again but monthly.
B, Ro, and I took our lasagnas, a loaf of French bread, and a pumpkin pie to Grandpa Ron's house so we could watch the Westminster dog show and Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade while playing pool after dinner. Usually, I'm pretty lucky playing pool and irritate B by winning with off-the-wall risky shots. I must have lost my touch because it didn't work this year.
Anyhow, I hope everyone had all the food they wanted this Thanksgiving. I love you and miss you.
The car radio has been working fine. But then B accidentally knocked my mounted microphone behind the dashboard with the sun shade. The Jeep was due for an oil change so I took time yesterday morning to do the oil change, and then take apart the center panel to fish everything back where it needs to be. I remounted the microphone in a new spot where it may be less affected, but maybe I'll try to get better mounting tape to keep it in place. Anna said the sound wasn't affected by it being in the dash, but I feel like it works better when it's out. B and I made it out for a trip at the end of June to see Shakira in San Francisco. She played a really good show. There were four little girls that were sitting behind us who knew the words to many of her Spanish songs and it was adorable to have that chorus behind us. She had quite a few props like a giant inflatable wolf for her encore. I realized that I know more of her music in Spanish than English, but of course she sang anyt...
