road trip
after a long, long, 3 day week at the office i'm finally home in gainesville for thanksgiving. my roommates brent and morris came home with, and kiko and bethany caught a ride with us too to spend thanksgiving with a friend of theirs here. i think it may have been the longest drive home ever, but probably one of the most enjoyable too. we spent a couple hours at dinner in atlanta with at Doc Cheys, before getting on the road around 10pm. joel was up when i got home so we sat up talking til after 5am. needless to say, i'm a little tired, but happy to be home.
fishing is in the works for tomorrow, weather allowing, along with a big meal in the evening with family and friends. perhaps we'll have some fish? mom's upstairs working on the turkey(s). better go help her with the sweet-potato pie. happy thanksgiving to all!
andy, i think you and i have made mom's sweet potato dish nearly every year, in every corner of the world in which we have found ourselves come thanksgiving.
i (dutifully) brought the sweet potato streusel to our thanksgiving bash this year, and was, again, asked for the recipe - twice. one friend's inquiry began, "i don't know if you give this recipe out, but if you do..."
mom, i'd have to say that's quite the compliment... :)
