Food, Hockey, and Sleeping In

That was my weekend. Here's a recap of Thanksgiving weekend, 2006.

Thursday we went to Pete's dad's for the feast. We got to see Amanda and Derek, so that was nice.

Friday we cooked up the free turkey that Pete gets every year from his work. We also made some stuffing and corn, too. I'm happy to say that everything turned out well and the entire enterprise was incident-free. Well, aside from a minor burn on my hand. I feel like I crossed a major threshold of being grown up by cooking my own turkey. We drank the last of the cranberry wine that we got last year when I still lived in Wisconsin, as it seemed like the appropriate thing to drink. Friday night we went to a movie (Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny). Very funny. We also enjoyed some appetizers and a Gopher Hockey victory at Green Mill.

Saturday we worked on our Christmas cards. Coming soon to a mailbox near you! It took longer than I thought it would, but I think we were both happy with the results. In the evening, we met up with James and Liz for a MN Wild loss, a Gopher Hockey domination of Michigan, and some wings at BW3.

Today we went to Pete's mom's for the annual painting of ornaments. We were there with Derek and Amanda, as well as John's two daughters. Pattie had enough food to feed about 40 people, but it was all delicious. It was a good time, and Pete had fun maiming the gingerbread man ornaments.

Now it's time for another week of work...
