Hello, December, who knew we were going to make it this far? Hi to the new friends, too (and the old ones, too.)
We got through Thanksgiving, though BabyBoy did not come home and the rest of us just hung around the house. I did find Miracle on 34th Street on Disney+ (in the proper black and white), so I streamed that once I got the turkey out of the brine and into the oven.
We held fast and didn't go down to D's family, but we managed to make Zoom work so we could hang out during the evening. I have no idea what we're going to do for Christmas, but I can't imagine things are going to be much better, so we're going to have to think of something, because there is no way I'm taking D into a risk zone of 20+ people from all over GA/AL.
My office has been pretty excellent through all of this and they've already told us to take the week after Christmas (while at the same time expanding the number of PTO hours we can carry over.) We cancelled the NYE reservations at Disney World, so I guess we'll just do the full 12 days of Christmas at home. #2Son started hauling boxes of decorations up from the storage room today, so we may just go wild and drape lights and tinsel over everything and then huddle together.
In other news, I got a hankering for my mom's hamburger soup (my mom, as you may remember, was not the best of cooks and did the whole '50s American casserole thing to death, but sometimes, you just want what you had as a kid, yeah?) but couldn't find any alphabet-shaped pasta and um, may have accidentally ordered 10 pounds of it off of Amazon, whoops?
If you, too, would like a copy-cat version of Campbell’s vegetable soup, this one is easy & pretty good. (I feel like 2020 is going to end with me completely losing the ability to cook anything other than semi-homemade versions of American suburban bland but we do what we have to, yeah?)
Pursuant to the above point, here is a link to Smitten Kitchen's Green Bean Casserole with no condensed soups in sight, for all your upcoming holiday (or everyday, no judging here) dinner needs.
Ciao, bellezze, have a nice rest of the week, don’t freeze, be safe!

We're vegetarian, so it's wasted on us.

I totally get wanting the comfort of favourite foods from childhood though as I'm planning on making crumpets.
