Another holiday is fast approaching. Thanksgiving Day is one more excuse to eat till we drop. lol I really love Thanksgiving dinner. Just the thought of it makes my mouth water. The one good thing about being single is all the invitations to Thanksgiving dinner. So many options and so little time.
I could drive to the Golden Triangle and have two meals there. Perhaps go to Austin with my best friend and her wonderful family. I could also head back home and have several meals with many of my relatives. Of course, there is always Nevada to partake of my first meal with my beloved little brother (who is almost 6 feet)and his lovely wife.
So, I have decided to instead stay home. I have invited my mother to have Thanksgiving dinner with me. The menu shall include a smoked turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, corn bread, pumpkin pie, cheese cake, cranberry sauce, stuffing and anything else that our little hearts desire.
Who knows after an excellent meal, we may just take off to Kemah or Galveston. It will be an excellent event for us. I'm not sure if Julio will spend Thanksgiving with us or go spend it with Arman. Oh well! He will be missed. lol
Where ever life takes y'all. I just wanted to take a moment to wish y'all a very Happy Thanksgiving Day. :o)

Rain check
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Fri Nov 06, 2009 03:50 PM PSTbajenaghe naghi,
Wow! You figured out what I usually do. I love collecting on those rain check meals all throughout the year. Yummy!
On the yam or squash menu. I am more of a squash kind of woman.
Well, if Julio and Arman can't join my mom and I then we girls will just have a lot of fun on our own. :o)
I do have a convertible .......zoom....zoom .......zoom.

by bajenaghe naghi on Thu Nov 05, 2009 08:31 PM PSTIf I were you I would get a rain check from everyone who wants to invite you and at your leisure you can visit them during the coming year to have a great cooked meal.
I also like smoked turkey but instead of having mashed potato I usually cook either yam or squash and if I am in a good mood, both :-)
I hope your son can join you.

by yolanda on Thu Nov 05, 2009 07:37 PM PSTHi Natalia,
Thank you for the Golden Triangle link!
Thank you!
I have a problem, I can't focus any more after reading your blog. I am counting down to Thanksgiving!
thanks,
golden triangle.......
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Thu Nov 05, 2009 06:19 PM PSTYolanda,
Man you are amazingly intelligent and versatile. I continue to be in awe and humbled by your intellect.:o)
Golden Triangle area in my case is as far from Asia as one can get. lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/.../Beaumont–Port_Arthur_metropolitan_area
It originally refers to the Beaumont, Orange and Port Arthur area. However, there is also Nederland, Port Neches, and Groves nearby.
Thank you so much for your comment. I learned a lot as usual.
Take care....

I hear the violin and it sounds broken!
by Anonymouse on Thu Nov 05, 2009 05:03 PM PSTU know it I know it & the American People know it (Bob Dole ;-)
We talked about the "ethnic" yada yada yada! We agreed that having some Mexican decoration(s) can be fun. We agreed to have either a big Mexican straw hat, a big belt buckle or something that you could surprise us with. We had a deal!
Haji is now all head over heals and in love and hesitant and commital and then non commital and the story goes on!
Everything is sacred.
No eres carnivoro.....Wow!
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Thu Nov 05, 2009 05:01 PM PSTValgame Dios! Yo pense que eras muy carnivoro. Con tantas bellezas en tu vida. Pense que tenias un apetito voraz. lol
Ahora, hablando en serio, yo si soy carnivora. No como mucha carne pero cuando lo hago me encanta una buena lucheleta hecha al "medium rare".
Gracias por leer mi escritura humilde y por las felicitaciones.
un abrazo para vos.......
Cry me a river......:o)
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Thu Nov 05, 2009 04:54 PM PSTRaton,
Do you hear the violins playing in the background for ya. Whahaha
Man give me a break! My people left the old country to have a better way of life, not so they could be more ethnic.
What is this with "the American people know it!" hahahaha
When did they get involved?
You are just way too funny.
I see that you are still causing havoc on other people's blogs. Hmmmmmm
I saw you post a comment about starting a fight.
tsk tsk tsk.......
What is up with this Haji whatever's love life?
Cheers!

So tragic......
by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Thu Nov 05, 2009 03:20 PM PSTMPD,
Yeah it is too bad that I won't be going to Nevada. I had to tell my brother "I am so sorry to miss your birthday." He said "Very funny Nati. You are just too funny."
His birthday is actually in the summer. lol Hey! What can I say, once a big sister ....always a pain in the a**. :o)
You know I was looking forward to watching a friend of mine in action. He has this side job working for his brother in a gas station in Nevada. I was going to sooooo love giving him a difficult time while he worked. :o) Oh well! Such is life.

I too love having Turkey leftovers. I don't eat it as a sandwich. I rather just eat it the traditional way, just over and over again.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind comment.
Cheers!

by Natalia Alvarado-Alvarez on Thu Nov 05, 2009 03:10 PM PSTDid you forget that during our negotiations, I clearly stated that my family was not going to go for the ethnic look.
Also, Thanksgiving Day is not Mexican Food Day. Hello! The Mexicans had nothing to do with the pilgrims. lol
I also told you none of us drink Tequila with worms. We are a worm free family.lol
Now, Christmas time is a whole other ball game.
Best
Too bad you're not going to Nevada to visit your brother for....
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Thu Nov 05, 2009 08:47 AM PST...National Turkey Day, otherwise you would've been able to gamble away all your money that you really don't need. Well, there is always next year. Keep on saving. Keep on writing. Keep on keeping on.
..........
by maziar 58 on Thu Nov 05, 2009 05:47 AM PSTI love the left overs and the chances of making turkey sandwich and sandwich and sandwich....
please don't take the non annonciado's comment to your heart.
peace on earth Maziar
Nothing Mexican?! No huge Mexican hats or food or anything?!
by Anonymouse on Thu Nov 05, 2009 05:23 AM PSTI thought you said you were going to have a Mexican feast with Mexican decorations, tequilas (w/ worms ;-) and all that other good stuff. So if you're not going to have a huge feast for a photo essay at least have a blog with one picture?!
Everything is sacred.

by yolanda on Wed Nov 04, 2009 09:37 PM PSTHi! Natalia,
I love Thanksgiving! I can't wait! I love your accompanying picture, it is so beautiful, the juicy and golden brown turkey......What is Golden Triangle? A city? A restaurant? The only Golden Triangle I know is in Asia, it is a notorious opium producing area:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Triangle_(Southeast_Asia)
Oh my gosh, your article makes me so hungry!! BTW, I like turkey drumsticks, wings, gizzard, and neck, I also like mashed potato. I may get 2nd turkey for X-mas. Hopefully I can get a good deal this year!
take care!
