One of our site supervisors, Jim, joined us and brought with him a turkey. I was very grateful for that, as I am not quite ready to tackle making an actual turkey. Although watching Leigh do it last year was fun.
Peggy, another site supervisor, dropped off stuffing and two pies. Peggy and Mark are married and are the ones in charge of LHI. Peggy is a great cook, and we've gotten to be beneficiaries of her skill multiple times. One of my team members is allergic to milk and eggs which makes cooking interesting sometimes, but Peggy is awesome and finds ways to make great food without those ingredients.
My teammate, Laura, and I were in charge of the other sides which consisted of mashed potatoes (!!yum!!), vegetables, salad, etc. Pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself. I even had two slices of Peggy's pecan pie, it was so delicious.
After dinner we still had sunny skies and warm weather here in San Antonio so I grabbed my book and headed down a trail near our house to a blind to spend some time reading. I didn't see any animals, but Mark has told me that the best time for spotting animals is just before sun rise. Maybe someday I will be ambitious enough to get over there that early.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving at home. Mom, you might have to make that blackberry pie again when I'm home. It sounds delicious. Only three more weeks and I'll be back.
Nathalie, I enjoy your blog so much. I'm sorry to say Festival Foods made the pie. It was really good though. Please thank your supervisors for me. They seem to be very thoughtful.
