Pearl and I had a delightful Thanksgiving celebrating with an old friend, Jason Mitchell. When we arrived at Jason’s house I asked what his Thanksgiving traditions were, to which he simple replied, “we only have one, to be untraditional.” He held true to his word and cooked one mean rack of pork, so no turkey this year. He also cooked cranberry carrots and green peas with goat cheese, sounds weird but they were great! Pearl and I then added the mash potatoes and of course the staple of my Thanksgiving meal, sweet potato soufflé.
It was really a great day.
Jen (Jason’s wife) was in Georgia visiting her sister who had just delivered her first child, but she surprised Jason by leaving at 4am and drove straight from south Georgia, took one bathroom / gas brake (yes only ONE!) and walked in the door around 3. It was crazy cute seeing Jason’s eyes jump at the delightful sight of his wife’s voice. Plus Silas and Siena (they’re two little kids) could not be more happy to see mama.
The rest of the day was filled with great conversation and of course board games and lots oh dessert.
