Thanksgiving

Sheila and I were both sick with a stomach virus this Thanksgiving.  For me, it started Wednesday evening...  for Sheila, it started on Thanksgiving day.  On the positive side, it only bothered us for approximately 24 hours each and, today (Friday), we each got our appetite back.

We missed the planned usual Thanksgiving dinner at Sheila's dad's house since we were both sick.  We ate very little this Thanksgiving Day.  Today, Friday, we both got our appetites back so we finally had some food and actually had an exceptionally nice and tasty dinner!

I slept most of the afternoon today to make up for all the sleep I lost while feeling miserable and nauseated through the night the night before Thanksgiving.  I was awake long enough here and there to watch bits and pieces of the University of Dayton blow #2 ranked UConn off the court at the Maui Invitational Tournament.  That was an extremely impressive win and it made both of us quite happy!  

After the game, I started preparing dinner.  I have to say that this dinner was absolutely delicious!  I made a roast beef, fingerling potatoes, gravy, fresh green beans in a white sauce (homemade) and topped with fried onion straws.  I also made some Yorkshire Pudding.  This was a meal that definitely hit the spot!

Now it is time for some Razzleberry Pie!  Whatever weight we may have lost due to this virus was gained back tonight!
