An extrovert, I love people. For that reason, I am cooking and eating on Thanksgiving alone.
Last night I made and refrigerated a pie crust. This morning, I rolled out the crust and baked my grandmother's pumpkin pie. The secret ingredient is ground mace.
Alas, the buttery crust upset my stomach. Not used to rich food. Instead, I can eat the pumpkin filling (lots of beta carotene) and throw away the crust. Since I'm alone, it won't hurt anyone's feelings. Freedom.
This afternoon, I went for an exhilarating three-mile run in the sunshine along the Columbia River. To their delight, I wished several people "Happy Thanksgiving!" as I ran. I feel grateful for being healthy.
“Happy Thanksgiving” to all of you from hands across the sea! The pie looks yummy!
I'm alone this year and I wasnt going to cook. I changed my mind last night and decided to get some groceries. Just a simple southern Thanksgiving with candy yams, slow cooked collards (14 hours, yum), potato salad, a ham from a farmer friend and home made yeast rolls.
Busy day Happy you got your pie made, just eating the centre sounds like being a little kid again lol ,as long as you enjoy it that is what counts That nice run must have been very enjoyable .Will wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving , I may end up doing Christmas like that
We had a partial family Thanksgiving on Saturday. Tomorrow I will be alone, and I have plenty of things to do. On Friday one of the kids will be bringing a meal by, and I will be putting in some overtime at work. And I still have plenty of things to do to keep busy I have a quilt to finish and xmas and birthday gifts to make.
It does look good. You are def not alone in celebrating alone. If anything, you, or
really anyone could open up a chat room and we could all just say HI and introduce ourselves and find some nice moments there.
GOOBLE GOOBLE!!
My T day will be alone without any special cooking. I'm still holding out in ideas of finding a woman I can take to dinner somewhere but I don't know who that would be. What should I do? Maybe go into a couple of fast food places and find a gal sitting alone looking gloomy and say "Hey Tootsy. Wanna out and eat - I'm buying?" Years ago I took a woman to dinner and when she shook up the ketchup the lid came off the bottle. There is always the option of staying home and watching TV.
You are not alone. You are with you. And that's pretty great, you know?
