Gobble Gobble...

Where has Sean been?  Eating...that's where.  Thanksgiving week is now over.  My favourite time of year.  The one time every year, that I literally need to undo a button. 

This year was extra special because my second favourite brother came home.  I went to the airport, Saturday morning, to pick up Charlie.  No one knew he was coming home.  It was awesome!!  My grandma was the funniest!  She just kept saying, "Charlie...look it's Charlie". 

The food was amazing!  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. etc. YUM!!

And no dinner is complete without ambrosia salad.  For those who don't know what that is, it's that salad with the dreamwhip and the fruit and the coconut and the mashmellows...yes....THAT salad.  Holy Cow.  I love it.  It seems to be a staple at every holiday meal and it's usually the salad that gets passed around the table, until it reaches me.  Then it finds a home. 

So, Charlie told me a little interesting fact.  Ambrosia means food of the gods.  I didn't argue that.  I find it quite heavenly.  Anyway, I decided to wikipedia it when I got home (surprise surprise).  Apparently it's "often depicted as conferring ageless immortality upon whoever consumes it."  Well...that would explain my youthful visage.  Also, it was said to be delivered to the gods by doves.  So, come Christmas time, I expect my ambrosia salad to be served to me, a la dove.

Hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving!!
