No Japanese slot machine in my future. For the last couple of days I’ve been looking at one in the gift shop here. Finally decided it just too damn noisy, though it would look good in the city apartment.
Errand running during the day, including picking up the $99 Thanksgiving Meal in a box at Whole Foods. I take time to finish my Thanksgiving Day Vans order for custom shoes — on turkey day they were offering 25% off and free shipping. Brings the order for two pairs of custom shoes down to $90!
Mid-afternoon is chips and guacamole with a bottle of Gruet Champagne. Dad even takes a break from football to join us.
The evening meal takes a couple of hours to warm up but you get a 8-10# Diestel Turkey (pre-cooked), stuffing, gravy (no enough for this family), mashed potato, cranberry sauce, vegetable medley with cheese sauce and dinner rolls. The vegetable medley was a little weak in my eyes, but everyone else thought it was OK. The reaction to the food: GREAT. We may have started a new family tradition — a heat and serve tradition. Two bottles of Navarro wines (a Pinot and a Cabernet) rounded out the meal, with pumpkin and pecan pies for dessert.
Already thinking about Turkey Day 2007, maybe outside Tucson in the Oro Valley.
