My friends this afternoon are ...

Luckily they are all helping me to feel better.

Lunch today was left over bulgur doused in hot sauce (helped clear my sinuses!):



I also had a pear:

And this little guy:

It seriously takes me like 20 minutes to eat one of those little Babybel. I nibble at it like a mouse and savour every little bit.

Have you had Babybel cheese before? Do you love it?

It used to be more of a Christmas treat in my family growing up - but now I run the show, and have my own house ... so I will eat it whenever I darn well please :-)

This afternoon I got a LOT of work done! I worked on my thesis and ran errands, and still had time to relax.

For dinner the hubby and I went to his parents house for turkey and all the fix'ns. This was my ginormous plate:

I was STUFFED after all that, so I passed on dessert. I am not a big sweets person anyway.

I also had 2 glasses of this:

After dinner and visiting, the hubby and I met up with some friends at a place called La Bodega. I had one strawberry beer called Fruli.

Now I am off to bed ... and tomorrow it is turkey day #2!

I know thanksgiving is a much bigger holiday in the US than in Canada ... in Canada, Christmas is the biggest family holiday typically. Which holiday is the biggest in your family? What do you eat at thanksgiving?
