Happiness...

Happiness is...

• Waking up "early" at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving and cleaning the apartment before anyone else wakes up.
• Kneading bread while drinking fresh coffee in the morning light in the view of the mountains.
• 
• Asparagus with lemon and poached egg for late breakfast / appetizer
• 

Having a full day off from normal life just to cook and enjoy these pleasures....

I am thankful for Thanksgiving.  And a million other things, but right now?  I'm most thankful for Thanksgiving:

I'm even thankful that the other palate got to spend it with "the Godfather," which ranks as one of my most hated movies of all time... because he did the laundry and ironed my shirts while I hid out in the kitchen!  :-)

We went roller blading and spent a good amount of time together anyway.  He says the Godfather is all about family anyway.  A good, family movie.

Yeah.

Right.
