We woke up before Thanksgiving day arrived today. That's because we woke up at 4.30am London time, which is 30 minutes before midnight Eastern time. Anyway, we had to get up early so Paul could get the turkey in the oven and prepare some filo pastry for dessert. Once the turkey was cooked, he drove over to Holloway to pick up his dad and brother to bring them to our house to share our Thanksgiving meal with us. Dad and George gave us a bottle of wine and some chocolates to help us celebrate.
As for the meal, we had turkey, dressing, broccoli casserole, mashed sweet potato, rice, giblet gravy, and cranberry sauce. Once we'd given this time to go down, we had a filo pastry shell with some raspberries and blueberries drizzled in a forest fruit sauce and vanilla ice cream.
As it takes around two hours for the return trip to Dad's flat, and because Paul would have to contend with the rush hour traffic, Dawn also went on the ride back to Holloway. This time it took less than an hour to get there, and over an hour and a half to get back.
We then settled down and watched "The 40 Year Old Virgin" before settling to watch the Cowboys against the Bucs at 9.30pm our time. With both of us feeling tired, we decided to tape the second half and watch the rest of the game in the morning. As expected, Dallas kicked Tampa's butt and ran out 38-10 winners.
