Baby's first Thanksgiving

The Bubba Family had a nice quiet drama free Thanksgiving dinner, just the four of us. The hubby smoked a small organic turkey, I made the butternut squash and sweet potatoes, stir fried some kale, made matsutake gohan (rice) for the first time, and enjoyed some wine and desserts afterwards. We didn't have to worry about planning some elaborate dinner, getting the house cleaned and set up, or face the major clean up that normally happens after a big turkey dinner. We didn't have to be somewhere by a certain time, we didn't have to get us and the kids ready. It really was a nice relaxing day for us. Very refreshing.
