We sat 31 people to dinner for Thanksgiving this year, which is rather a lot for us and a tremendous amount of fun (and a teeny weeny amount of stress). Thank goodness for Robert, Jim\u2019s nephew, who came early and helped tremendously with the cooking. Together, we managed to feed everyone the following menu:<\/p>\n

Thai pumpkin soup<\/p>\n

As we do every Thanksgiving, we each express what we are thankful for this year. And so this year, I am incredibly thankful for our family and friends and their continued good health. I am especially thankful for Jim and the kids for making me happier and more blessed than I could have possibly imagined.<\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
