Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!! I hope your day went well!
Let's see, I have my whole family over! I'll go over the list:
My mom, Step dad, both Sisters and 2 nephews.
Sean's Sister, brother in-law and niece
Room mate and her cousin
Adoptive little brother
Sean's Friend Shawn.
This is plus, Me, Sean and my two kids... a grand total of : 17 peoples here to eat!
We had a crap load of food want to see??:
The pies were in the kitchen, there were 6 of them.
OK, so you wonder how does someone who just had this surgery cook and host a Thanksgiving dinner? I did it easy. I got up and cooked. I knew I couldn't eat 90% of what was being served, so I made sure what I could eat tasted great! I was in charge of the meat and potatoes! So we had Rosemary and Thyme turkey with honey/brown sugar ham. And garlic mashed potatoes.
I ate about 2oz of turkey and 2 oz of ham. (not at the same time....)And about 6bites of potatoes. So I had 3bites with each set of meat. I had about a good 45min between my "plates" and after2 hours I ate a small scoop of my "pudding pie" Sean made for me.
The pie was no sugar added French vanilla pudding and a graham cracker crust made with splenda. I was quite happy!
Here is all of us:
One person had already left, so there are only 16 in the picture.
We had a great time and after all the fun I went out black Friday shopping to Toys R Us, Walmart, Target and back to walmart! I got everything I wanted, stuff for my mom too. So it was a all and all great Thanks giving!!!
We put up our tree now and start this holiday season!
OK, so just to also update you I'm down 25lbs since the surgery!
Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving.
