Yes, I'm whining.
For the first time in my life, I've missed Thanksgiving.
I don't know about you - but the typical menu in our family at Thanksgiving is one of my all-time favorites. The turkey, the mashed potatoes with gravy, the green bean casserole (with A LOT of french fried onions on the top), the pumpkin pie, the custard pie.
Then there is all the family togetherness - playing games, going for walks (depending on the weather, naturally), telling or retelling of family stories.
Instead, I was stuck at home, alone, nursing 7-Up and saltine crackers.
I don't know what hit me - but some kind of stomach bug which included a fever as high as 101. And made my stomach revolt at the smell of anything cooking.
It was the kind of sick where I didn't even feel up to knitting. Blech.
So the cats had a good time napping with me all day - for which they were thankful.
I'm thankful that this seems to be a quick 48-hour kind of flu.
Hope those who were celebrating had a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, Kate, how awful. I'm glad you're feeling well enough to blog! Here's hoping Christmas will be better!
Oh, poor Kate! I hope they saved you some leftovers!!
Ray made Shrimp Etouffe (hmmm, should that be one f or two?) and it was delish...no turkey in this house, too much work for just the two of us...and I don't really like it anyway. LOL
Oh you poor thing! Bad enough to have flu but to miss out on the big turkey dinner too... Hope you're feeling better now.
Amazed you managed to stomach asking me about food on my blog!
