I haven’t had a regular plan on Thanksgiving since Gma Baker died. I was single and went to my brother’s inlaws, I’ve hosted my immediate family, I had a few Friendgivings. HWMMS and I have made a feast for the two of us…it varies every year. Thanksgiving as I knew it, died with my last grandparent. Our family split into nuclear celebrations and inlaws. We tried to start a Thanksgiving Eve tradition years and years ago but its not the same.

This year? Aas it should be. It’s just the two of us. With our first farm fresh turkey (from Davies Hillside Farms in Springville, NY.)

HWMMS: Whoa. I felt it.

Me: Felt what?

HWMMS: The Holiday Spirit!

I made pear custard instead of pie. OMG I love this. Who knew custard was so delish?
