Thanks
Turkeys: 2
Casseroles: 4
Jello salad: 1
Pans of giblet gravy: 1
Bowls of mashed potatoes: 1
Loaves of pumpkin bread: 2
Homemade pies: 2
Cans of jellied cranberry sauce: 2 (and, yes, we are classy like that)
Number in attendance: 9
Cranky cats: 1
Once more, Dominic and I have cooked like cooking fools. This is our second Thanksgiving entertaining coworkers of his that have no way home for the holidays, and I have officially dubbed the affair The Gaskin Thanksgiving Extravaganza. Next year there will be banners! And Flamenco dancers!
Seriously though, we know we have a lot to be thankful for. Every Thanksgiving we've spent together we've been thankful, but this one in particular comes at a very charmed time in our lives. I say this now, full from turkey and apple pie leftovers, freshly back from a neighborhood coffee house with espresso so good it's like shoving a needle in your arm and shooting up sugar and caffeine, and waiting on a friend who's going to drive us downtown to the warm and friendly bars there.

Yay for having friends over to share food! Ours wasn't quite that big, but it was still a lot of fun! We need to find a weekend to come up to Omaha and visit you guys. Can't wait to see your house!
Audra, you and Matt definitely need to come visit us. We can walk to bars from our house!
