If anyone asked me the hackneyed TG question, “What are you thankful for”, I would have to say that I’m thankful for a family/friends that are so nonconventional and atypical that we don’t have to worry about the traditional political combat on TG.  We’re all on the same side–the side of justice and humanitarian rights, despite the genocide that TG stands for, and the current fascist dictatorship.  Also, Eric’s smoked turkey and salmon.

TG coinciding with S’s birthday means that we’re going to have a full house over at Jess’s and at Avdi’s this week.  Stacey and S will be here, and friends of all ages will abound.  Multiple kitchens will be off limits, so I’m also thankful for my apt where I can prepare my recipes (corn bread and sweet potato casserole) without being trampled to death!  And for the over-the top tsunami of food that our little community will be able to come up with.

Last but not least, I’m thankful for having a big garden at Avdi’s to play in and experiment with!  It makes the difference between living and just existing.  Literally.

I made this fish stir-fry yesterday evening, to go on jasmine rice. It was good.
