Thanksgiving Plans and Recipes

Thanksgiving is almost here and deidre’s very excited. This year she’ll be heading over to Orlando as is traditional for Master, to have Thanksgiving Dinner with Master’s cousins. His brother, the nicest guy in the world, will be flying down from Atlanta, and His other cousin and her son are flying out from California as well. deidre will spend tomorrow baking the pumpkin crunch that everyone has come to love, as well as making up her cranberry relish, and possibly preparing stuff for a new salad that she’s just fallen in love with.
Cranberries are one of the reasons why deidre loves this time of year. Dad would always make up a big batch of cranberry relish, so that deidre could take a few quarts home with her. Even before He did that deidre loved the stuff in a can. Not the chunky kind, the kind that’s nice and smooth and makes that wonderful sound as it’s coming out of the can. Last year deidre attempted to make a Jell-O mold with fruit and sour cream, but it didn’t set right so she stuck it in the blender with some vodka and made a pretty yummy drink out of it.

Thanksgiving Day, before dinner, is spent browsing through the papers so that they (note: not deidre or Master) can get up at some freaking insane hour of the morning and go shopping. Now, while deidre is very female, somehow she was formed without that predisposition to shopping that most of us seem to have. deidre hates it. she hates crowds. she hates waiting in line. she hates the stupidity that runs rampant this time of year when people go into stores for shopping. It’s insanity, and deidre already has enough of that on her own without trying to add even more to it.

They usually make it back around 8 am, cook up some breakfast and then crash. About this time Master and deidre get up and have some nice quiet time together. There’s a park nearby that the dogs love, and the playground is fun. There are more real trees in their neighborhood than here so deidre gets a taste of the autumn color change.

After a few days spent lounging around, and nights spent drinking Harvey Wallbangers and Golden Cadillacs it comes time for flights to leave and for Master and His bitches to head back home. K usually come with us and flies out of Tampa after another day or two of time spent in St. Pete. This time he’s set it up so that we can go to an Olivia Newton-John concert with him. K’s a really big fan of hers. In fact he just bought a new mini cooper and named it Livie after ONJ. The only music of hers that deidre knows is the music from Greece, so hopefully it won’t be too bad.

Actually just being able to hang out with K will be fun. He and deidre have a way of kind of ganging up on Master, teasing Him and torturing Him with bad puns. Having K here for a few days will be like a warm up for when We/we are up in Atlanta with Him for Christmas and New Years.
