For Thanksgiving i went to my friend Lynn's house.
She and i met in Brownies when i was 7 and she was 8.
Needless to say, we know each other well.
I love a lot of things about going to her house. Not only do i get to visit a life completely foreign to my own (
married, big house, 2 kids, 2 dogs), but i love that her home is a perfect mixture of well put-together elegance and stuff her kids made. Like these door decorations, hand drawn (
and apparently startled) turkeys share equal billing with a lovely metal piece that i'm sure cost more than my furniture.
You know those friends you have that don't treat you like a guest? The ones where you just get your own drink? I love those friends. Lynn and her husband Shawn are definitely friends like that. Soon after i arrived i went to the fridge to get a drink -
and found shelves of pies.
Love it!
Lynn made a whole turkey and an extra breast. She uses the baking bags and man, oh, man did those birds turn a gorgeous golden brown
Do ya like how her outfit coordinates with dinner?
And how about those kitchen pitch forks she's using to transfer the bird? I have absolutely NO use for them whatsoever, but i love them so much that i want a pair.
Know what else i love?
Someone else carving the turkeys; i do it at Christmas and i do not love it. Shawn does not kid around about really cleaning the meat from the bones.
He decimated these.
And the thing i love most of all about spending Thanksgiving with one of my oldest friends
is that it felt like i was with family even when my own family is so far away from me.
