Every two weeks Bloggers unite for a day to write about a communal topic. This week LetsBlogOff asks the question so what’s a good Thanksgiving food memory for you?
Honestly - and this goes against tradition I know - the best food Thanksgiving I ever had was the first year I moved back to Florida. I lived in an apartment complex and had made a couple of friends through walking my dog. Dog owners know - when you know the dogs name but not the humans :) Anyway most people left for Thanksgiving but another woman also had no plans to visit family so we decided to get together.
We met early Thanksgiving afternoon and took our two respective dogs to the dog beach where the pooches had the run of the beach. After a few hours we packed up and drove back to the apartment complex and started our Thanksgiving dinner. We threw some zucchini, yellow squash, red peppers on the grill to get them toasty. Then we placed our main dish - swordfish steaks - on the grill. Everything was perfect and tasty. Our only concession to tradition was a pumpkin pie which we were eating by the pool as the sun set.
For a Thanksgiving that I had thought was going to be pretty pitiful after deciding not to visit my family, it turned out to be a beautiful day.
I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with the joy of being on this beautiful earth.
