Thanksgiving Wrap-up

Yesterday was a busy day, but in the end everything turned out very well. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised, but Richard ended up cooking a LOT of food. He (with my assistance) made a pumpkin pie, dressing, gravy, banana bread, stuffed celery, and sweet potatoes. Other people brought food as well, and the main course was a smoked wild turkey that Richard's oldest son had shot. The wild turkey was actually quite good. It had a nice smokey flavor and didn't taste gamey at all. We ended up bringing a nice portion of the turkey home with us...of course, we had to watch out for the buckshot. LOL!!!

Wednesday night, Richard went to a bible study, so I stayed home and watched "An American Werewolf in London" and finished watching "Pan's Labyrinth". I had seen AAWIL before, but it was nice to see again. The transformation scene is certainly a classic...as far as "Pan's Labyrinth" goes it was much more violent and mostly contained more "real life" situations than I had expected. The ending suprised me a bit, but it was rather haunting and left quite an impression.

Yesterday, we watched "Shrek the Halls" and "Fool's Gold". Both were enjoyable comedies. I was just hoping that Shrek would have lasted longer.
