For as much trouble as this holiday can be, this one wasn’t so bad.

Originally, I had hoped we could just go out to eat, or even just ignore the fact that it was a holiday, but when Abby’s daughter Chele and her husband Tom (just to refresh the memories of our readers) decided to come for Thanksgiving instead of Christmas, wheels were set in motion. In the end, everyone pitched in, everyone had a nice time, and while everyone else enjoyed Cornish game hens, I got to have a Tofurky! We had lots of desserts, including one Chele and I decided was funny to call men’s meat pie.
