Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving night and all the dishes are done, the food put away, the second round of feeding is over and it's time to relax.  One of the new dishes we tried this year was a Sweet Potato Pudding courtesy of Bon Appetit magazine.  It was delicious...just sweet enough.  One of my "claims to fame" is my ability to reclaim the leftovers for something else.  Before dinner was even over, I had planned and plotted to take the left over sweet potato pudding and use them to make sweet potato pancakes for breakfast in the morning.  While I'm completely stuffed right now, my mind is still (and is always) thinking about the next dish I can make.  I will post the sweet potato pudding recipe in the recipe section, but enough about food for now.  As the night comes to a close it's a really good time to really sit and think about what I'm thankful for.  This year has brought about some changes for me, lots of opportunities and lots of challenges.  I was thinking just a few weeks ago about how I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be at this point in life and my journey through it.  I guess besides the wonderful love of my family and friends, I'm most thankful for the peace that comes with that realization.  Things are good, things can always be better, and they can definitely be worse.  So on this Thanksgiving night, I wish you all that same peace.  Peace to find yourself content and happy, surrounded by family and friends that you love, and who love you in return.  Peace and love to you all.
