Thursday was a very nice day. Lloyd and I slept in, then went over to Sam and Rachel’s for a fabulous feast and a day of relaxing. Lloyd and Sam made everyone watch Paint Your Wagon (a Sommerer Family favorite), while I caught a fairly long Paint-Your-Wagon-sized nap. Then Rachel, Anna and I watched Phantom of the Opera (which I’d never seen) and then the gamers played a surprisingly quick game of Settlers of Catan.
Sam smoked the turkey (on his smoker, not like a cigarette, though isn’t that a hilarious visual?) and it was fantastic! Rachel’s side dishes were perfect! I had a hard time eating because I like to do food ratios and as the plate emptied it was tough to decide what the Last Taste would be.
What won out? Stuffing with gravy. Mmmmmmmm…..
