Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

adrian_turtle, cattitude, and I had a very cozy Thanksgiving, with enough good things to eat that we forgot all about the home-made cranberry relish until we'd filled up on turkey, onions, beans, sweet potato and apple casserole, stuffing, and gravy. Pie didn't happen (small hardware glitch), so we just ate chocolate for dessert. And mostly it was the warmth of being up here with both of them.

We took the train up, splurging to avoid day-before-Thanksgiving traffic on I-95. Cattitude went back yesterday, and has discovered that the buses aren't made for people his height. He went home with turkey, olives, and the aforesaid relish, for his supper last night; Adrian and I had turkey and cranberry relish on pita bread from the Middle Eastern store downstairs (source of the olives). [I'll be taking the bus back to New York today.]
