Happy Thanksgiving!


This is the first year that i've been cooking a Thanksgiving meal. I didn't grow up with celebrating Thanksgiving, but i have been at 2 thanksgiving dinners before, plus what i've seen in movies and on Food Network, i whipped up a storm in the kitchen today!
Cranberry Sauce, Cornbread, Coleslaw (two batches!), Stuffing, Peach Cobbler (only thing that didn't came out right), Potato Salad, Sweet Potato Casserole (ala Boston Market with marshmallows!), Gravy, and Mac & Cheese. And since hubby doesn't eat Turkey, i made Fried Chicken.
Everything from scratch! Oh, i'm lying, the cornbread came from a package, had to add some ingredients though.
We will be eating for days!

All though we've been going through some hard times lately, today we are relaxing and giving thanks.
In between cooking i've been watching old Gene Kelly Fred Astaire movies. Oh i love today!

The Thank You card design with this post is the setup for a bunch of postcards i will have printed and send to all those who have helped us with convincing the immigration service that Love and I are really a loving couple. So many people came trough and wrote letters for us. I am very grateful.

I don't know what the future will bring, but i think i have had my share of bad luck for a while. Better times must be ahead!
Thank you. Everyone. Online and Offline. For all your love and support.
