Happy Thanksgiving

Recommended Posts

We've all been bitching and rightfully so.Ā  It's been a trying year, what with the deaths, illness, layoff and such.. but at least we're not turkeys :0

Still, its in such times, you gotta count your blessings and appreciate what you've got.Ā  Having decent family, food and shelter are all pretty good.Ā  Good enough to toast to, and another for a better year to come.Ā

Made a pretty tasty cranberry sauce this year.Ā  Ghee, cranberries, heated up, then added thinly diced mandarin orange(including the skin), added some wine, drank some wine, added brown sugar. A little pumpkin spice, I saw we had some balsamic fig vinegar, added a bit of that, let it cook down, perfect

I just realized now yesterday was Thanksgiving .

Ā 

I wanted to make a nice Vietnamese cold beef salad for lunch the day before , but no chiliĀ  . Thought to have it the next day . So marinated aĀ  porterhouse steak overnight , in a complex and delicious marinade I concocted . Every few hours I would go to the fridge and turn it over in the marinade .Ā  I went and got chilli the next morning. I collected fragrant wood made a fire and let it burn to coals. I put the steak on a grill above it and went inside to make the salad and the dressing . I went back outside to get the steakĀ  ....

Ā 

and a turkey was eating it .Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  :angry:

Happy ThanksgivingĀ to all of my DB friends and folks.

Itā€™s bittersweet being a moderator.

I feel a sense of loss for many who arenā€™t here and gratitude for those who are.

I look forward to continuing to weather the storm of samsara with all of you .

With love and appreciation

This day is always bitter with a hint of sweet.

Bitter in what it represents and what it is culturally.

Ā 

Sweet in what it is (to me in my little circle of life) and what it represents (to me in that context).
