Happy Thanksgiving 2010

I can't believe we're already celebrating Thanksgiving! Where has the year gone?

Every Thanksgiving I take a few moments in the morning to reflect on the past year and look forward to what little is left of this year. Despite what is going on in our country, we have much to be thankful for. I read an interesting article that really brought it all into focus for me. You can find it at: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45520.html

Personally I am thankful I have a job when I live in a county where the jobless rate is double the national average! I'm thankful my son is with me and happy.

On a lighter note, I received some questions from Manic Monday and thought they would be fun to answer. They aren't really Thanksgiving themed, but still fun.

1. What do you cook when home alone?

If I'm home alone I usually don't even bother to cook. What's the point in cooking for one?

2. What is something you'd like a chance to eat or cook?

Hmmmm....That's a tough one. I don't ever hesitate to try new stuff when I come across it. So I can't really say that there is something I haven't tried that I want to. As everyone knows, traditional Japanese cuisine is my thing. I cook it fairly regularly. Hmmm....I think I'd like to branch out and try to make some good Indian food at home. That would be fun. :)

3. What is your favorite cookbook?

When I make Japanese food I love to use Washoku. It makes Japanese food idiot poof, which I need!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
