Giving Thanks

by Eating Bird Food on November 25, 2011

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I hope everyone that celebrates had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. I celebrated with Isaac’s family and besides a quick trip to the emergency room during dinner, the day was wonderful. <– Isaac’s dad had intense pain occur while we were eating and had to leave the dinner table. There was a doctor in the house and he recommended a trip to the ER so I went with Isaac’s immediate family there. Luckily the hospital wasn’t busy and he got in and tested within a few hours. They couldn’t find anything wrong and said it was just intense abdominal pain and that he should follow up with a doctor visit this coming week. It was definitely scary and is still a little nerve racking not to know exactly what caused the pain, but all the tests for major issues came back negative so that was a good thing.

After everything happened Isaac, his sister and I went back to his Aunt’s house for dessert before calling it a night. You can’t go dessert-less on a day like Thanksgiving!

We indulged in my homemade pumpkin cheesecake pie and by the end of the night, my face probably looked like the “face” that appeared on my pie – content and sleepy. I thought about covering the cracks on the pie, but Isaac’s mom told me looked homemade this way so I just rolled with it. Plus, I liked the little face the cracks made – dimples and all.

Tomorrow my family is coming down to our house for a Thanksgiving celebration. It’s our first time hosting a big meal, let along Thanksgiving. I’m excited, nervous and totally wishing I had a double oven after writing out all the items that need to be baked and served warm tomorrow. eeeekkkk

Happy belated Thanksgiving friends. We all have so much to be thankful for! Please know that I am thankful every day for each of you that read this little blog! I’ll leave you with another quote:

“Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.” -Robert Caspar Lintner

Back to the Grind

by eatingbirdfood on December 1, 2008

I’m going to do this post in turbo mode because I have to go to work today. After having 4 days off I almost forgot that I have this thing called a job. By the way… how is Monday already people? Actually, how is it already DECEMBER? I’m excited about the latter because the count down is starting for the the holidays!!!!! Here at my casa we are celebrating Christmakah. Isaac has always celebrated Hanukkah and a funny story from when he was younger was that a friend who celebrated Christmas invited him over to “trim the tree“. Apparently his mom wasn’t home because he left the house in boots and play clothes because he thought he would be outside trimming branches.

So anyways, we got our Christmas Tree yesterday and I am excited because this my first time having one at my own house. I think Isaac is excited too – he’s never had one before EVA. We are going to rock around the Christmas tree tonight- I will post a photo once it’s shining.

Since this is a food blog- I have some photos of last nights dinner:

Steam in the bag – edamame veggie blend from TARGET.

Salad with garlic hummus used as my dressing. PS – I am addicted to using hummus as a dressing now! The white stuff on the right is left over tater salad- from our work t-day party.

and for dessert…. some of my leftover pumpkin pie. I cut a small slice but went back to the fridge for 2nds and 3rds. They were all small but I should have just cut one regular size piece so I didn’t have to keep running back to the fridge for more.

Off to do some work. Have a lovely Monday.

Happy LeftOvers Day!

November 28, 2008

Am I right or am I right???? For Thanksgiving I went with Isaac to his aunt and uncle’s house! His aunt prepared the turkey and all the sides – and we brought desserts and some vegetarian options. I really enjoyed being with his family, but I did miss my fam and the traditional items that [...]
