Thanksgiving extravaganza
ok, so it wasn’t really an extravaganza, but we still had a good time on thanksgiving. 🙂 i was hoping to be thankful for some snow, but the sun decided to shine instead. here’s what we (i) made for our little thanksgiving lunch: sweet potato and roasted butternut bisque, golden glow stuffed acorn squash, vegan meatloaf, sauteed asparagus, and cranberry relish. for dessert we had individual pear cranberry crisps. the closest we got to real turkey was a turkey balloon, and an amigurumi turkey. we tried to watch the ubiquitous thanksgiving day parade, but were COMPLETELY let down! non-stop commercials, annoying tv announcers, gosh-aweful product placement, it was horrible! the one float arthur saw was the pillsbury dough boy, and he has no idea who that is since we don’t buy that! fortunately, charlie brown saved the day! 😀

Yay, a Zereps update! 🙂 Sounds like you had a pretty good Thanksgiving despite the parade. What channel did you watch it on? We watched on NBC, which seemed better than the CBS coverage. To be honest I don’t think this year was much worse than any other–it’s been commercially focused pretty much since its inception. So did you not even see the Kermit baloon? Or the Sesame Street float?
By the way, I think Arthur grows an inch between every update! 😉
