What a week this has been! Everything was going great for T-Day until Dylan comes down with a raging toothache and I mean raging! I never knew how menacing a pesky little tooth could be. He didn't let that bother him too much (even though I know he was miserable) and he took part in all of the family activities.
I had the best time cooking with my Mom and my granmother, Nana, on Wednesday. One thing I am thankful for is all of the amazing women in my life. The three of us had a blast! Nana made pickled beets from her recipe book she was given when she got married and I made Banana Pudding using Atoo's (Mother Curry's) custard recipe. That custard has seen me through so many illnesses! I thought I would go a little Marilyn on Dylan and whip up 3 batches just to make sure he had enough to get him through the week until he gets the root canal! Then of course Mom made her srumptious broccolli cheese casserole (x 2), Dad's Orange Jello Salad (we are just that sophisticated), chocoloate chip cookies (x 2), and a pair of pumpkin pies. This year was supposed to be the low-key Thanksgiving where we all attend but Mom only knows how to do things big so we cooked up a storm!
Nana's Pickled Beets
Honestly it was one of the best Thanksgiving memories I have. Nana hadn't cooked anything for Thanksgiving in years and the three of us just got tickled all day long! I am thankful for all the joy and laughter we shared on Wednesday!
