Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

We had a peaceful Thanksgiving today--just the two of us being thankful for our family, our home, and our lives in general. Rather than fix the traditional dinner, we had our homemade lobster bisque for lunch in front of the fireplace after Ed returned from delivering Thanksgiving meals to some folks who could not get out and have very little. Then we put a big fat roasting hen on the rotisserie on the deck and let 'er spin

for the afternoon, basting her with a pomegranate reduction I made. We also created a new Creme Brulee--Pumpkin & eggnog with Amaretto. The chicken was fantastic, so can't wait to try out the dessert later tonight!!!While the bird was roasting, we unloaded our Christmas decorations

so we can decorate tomorrow afternoon and be ready

for Jackson when he gets here on Sunday evening. All in all, it's been a good day.
