Happy Thanksgiving!

The sweet potatoes are in the oven for our pies. But the biggest success came yesterday with two versions of cranberry sauce…one infused with port wine and cinnamon sticks, the other infused with a hint of orange.

My favorite surprise though was the bourbon mashed sweet potatoes that I’ll sprinkle with walnuts or pecans today.

Not sure if I’ll get to see if anyone likes them at our family events. Future Farmboy came down with a nasty stomach virus yesterday…so bad we ended up at the hospital half the night trying to rule out appendicitis. The pain is better, but all the icky flu symptoms are front and center today. He’s on the BRAT diet too…so being around all that food and cousins he can’t play with may be too much.

Much thanks to all the very attentive Loyola doctors and nurses. All of them tender with the boy and soothing for his anxious parents. It’s nice to be so close to excellent medical services.

Oh…also…we woke up to snow flurries! Yay.

  1. Why is Farmboy on the BRAT diet? was it just cuz of the flu or was he on it before hand?we have not had the flu here yet, but Yanni had food poisoning last week, that was a fun night! But she was fine 24h later.
