Happy Jets-giving/Turkey day!

One of my favorite things on Earth right now... Ube Macopuno Roll cake. Thank you to Tita Dory for bringing it!

Today was a fantastic day in Winnipeg :) The JETS are back and they played their first home game against the Habs today :) And no, we didn't win but there was something special about the day anyhow. The positive vibe downtown (HUGE sales at the store), the buzz anywhere in the city, the constant flow of Jets Merchandise on Everyone and Everything! Just great :)

It was only our first game and you know what? True fans still stick by their team even when the chips are down! We still got a whole season to go and the boys did play a good game. We'll see who's in the playoffs this year..That's right folks! I'm calling it! The jets are making it to the Cup!!

Today was also Thanksgiving! We had 2, yes 2 thanksgiving dinners to attend today..whoa. That's alot of food! First was dinner at Racheal and Chris' and we were doing the turkey! So today was up at the crack of dawn and cooking. We made the turkey, mashed potatoes,gravy,cranberry sauce, tsimmis ( a sweet potato and carrot casserole) and 2 apple cranberry crisps. ( I had to have another one to bring to the other function) So yes, up at 8, breakfast at 9, turkey in at 1130, Charlie peeling veggies and fruit for 2 hours and me assembling and cooking for hours! That took us right till 6 and down the elevator we went (they live on the fourth floor). And wow did we eat... Im still reeling from it and it's 6hours later! then at about 9, we drove Esther and Eli home and took Apple Crisp #2 to tita libs. We got there and they were already in full tongits swing. Of course we goT the offer to eat more but I just couldn't.. waaaaay too much food earlier. I did notice my favorite thing ever sitting on the table... Ube Macopuno roll cake (pictured above) .. Oh god, I crave it often. and it was the good kind too! The one with super silky buttery icing. Oh so good... I had to take a big piece home with me! We did dive into it a bit already but We'll save the rest for tomorrow. Im excited for leftovers tomorrow and doing a whole lot of nothing!

So thats it, thats all. I am done! Too much itis and need to lay down and pass out! 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

-remember that thanksgiving just doesn't have to come once a year, it should last all year long! Tell the ones you love that you love them often!
