Happy Thanksgiving

Upon waking up the first thing that came to my mind was, "wow, it's already Thanksgiving".  This of course means that winter is about to be upon us and that the year is almost over.

We weren't able to spend Thanksgiving with our family this year, but fear not, we were not without good friends and food.  A friend and co-worker invited us to her family's Thanksgiving celebration were we did things a different.  Well, not too different.  We drank, watched football, and baked a pie, so really the only difference was the meal.  I think this was the first Thanksgiving were we had not eaten turkey.  At first I thought it was odd, but our friend's dad explained that they never make turkey because they don't really like it.  Which made me think, how many families cook a turkey just for "traditions" sake?  Anyway, the meal was great we had beef, red cabbage, green beans, wild rice and acorn squash with spinach, sunflower micro-greens and goat cheese, yum!
