Dinner tonight: warm homemade nicely spiced pumpkin pie, bacon, baby spinach salad. It’s a little ritual of ours when we head off to relatives for Thanksgiving. They don’t do pumpkin pie, so we check that off in advance. Bacon for dinner protein, why not, and a big dark green salad. Actually, eating a piece of bacon and taking a bite of warm pie is quite harmonious.
There are a couple of other things we prepare and eat before we go, so either DH or I get a particular block checked, which we know from past experience will not be satisfied. They don’t involve bacon, so no need to elaborate here. It’s all about being with family anyway - first full-on gathering since 2019.
