Granted, there’s a very dark side to Thanksgiving, but our warm family (three gens) gathering was the opposite.  It was happy, cozy, and delicious.  There was a mountain of delectable foods, and another one of fabulous desserts, made by all of us.  We sat around the table enjoying each other’s company, and then on the sofa trying to recover!  Plus Stacey’s large collie Tadhg (sp?) [“tige”] joined us, which was the cherry on top for me.  There was a lot of cleanup, but lots of people to help.  It was the best TG yet.  I forgot to take pictures of all the foods, because I was so busy eating them–and slipping some to the dog.  He of course loves me now.  Guess what we’re having for Shabbat?
