Against All Odds

I Got #50 Done…

I asked Kris to be my back-up. I can’t see all the numbers on the face of the oven, for example, and she helped with that. She was there when I was doing anything with something hot, letting me do it but standing by. She went with me to get potatoes that I had forgotten to buy to help me find them in the store.

For those of you who have been reading my last couple posts, #50 is the 50th year I have cooked myself the exact same meal on Thanksgiving. And also, I have a nasty cold that Kris caught at 20Books, which is making my eyesight even worse for a few days. (You know how having a cold puts a film over your eyes… Yeah, that’s fun when you vision is already a lot gone.)

So huge turkey meal turned out good. Far more of a struggle than I remember having before, but got it done. Once again shows the power of a streak of any kind. Just like writing this blog every night for 10.5 years without missing.

Thanks, Kris!! For backing me up. And making fantastic pies!!
