Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, our national harvest festival. We celebrate the various bits of good fortune we've experienced over the past year. Traditions include a pig-out meal with extended family, and pro football on TV. Tomorrow the DrsC will follow none of those traditions except for the thankfulness.
We have no nearby family, and will travel to do the large family gathering 3-4 weeks from now in the Christmas season. So tomorrow we plan to do some serious cooking, making a lot of what cookbooks call braciole.
The other DrC's Sicilian ancestors called the dish (in English phonics as nobody wrote it down) "sausa setti." We will eat a few of these for supper and freeze most to transport to CA to share with the extended family at Xmas.
We have plenty for which to be thankful. Our health is better than it was a year ago, our new winter home is getting finishing touches with outstanding landscaping and, this afternoon, our ceiling fans will be installed.
We've finally unpacked most of the boxes, and identified some additional stuff we should have tossed instead of moving. Finally, it is snowing today in western Wyoming so we've NV sunshine and shirtsleeves weather to be thankful for.
The DrsC wish you all a happy fall harvest festival, with good food, good company and, in the absence of abject gluttony, good digestion.
