Thanksgiving 2022

We spent Thanksgiving Day at our rental house -- Kim and I cooked, the girls played in the pool and hot tub, the boys watched World Cup soccer and played ping pong (and cleaned up!). Over the week, we watched a spate of older classic movies - Men in Black, Ocean's 11 - and that was fun.

No rolling pin, so we improvised to roll out our pies. Kim made a chicken pot pie and I made an apple crumble pie. There were also no measuring cups or spoons, so we had to eyeball all the measurements for crust and filling as well. Everything turned out!

There was a mini pingpong table in the garage and we had a lot of fun playing on it -- Seb played me, Steve, and Carl, Carl and I played, and Liesl and Roxy goofed around. There weren't pingpong paddles, but these small plastic frisbees served admirably.

 

Someone won, and someone did not.

My boys did some shopping in Palm Springs and got dressed up in fancy clothes for the occasion. Matching plaid pants!!

Tri-tip steak, green beans, rolls, mashed potatoes with gravy, chicken pot pie, cranberry sauce, some raw veggies, and an apple pie. Pretty good spread for Thanksgiving on the road.
