Early Thanksgiving Dinner
Oct 26th, 2003 by Leimamo
We (myself and my daughter) had planned to have an early Thanksgiving dinner because hubby won’t be here for Thanksgiving. His job requires him to be away so this weekend, I roasted a Turkey with my grandma’s stuffing, baked a ham and made Hawaiian Potato salad. Why do we call it Hawaiian potato salad anyway? Usually, people refer to food prepared with pineapples as being “Hawaiian”; people who aren’t Hawaiian, that is. Always that was strange seeing as how most local people only eat pinapples at a pa’ina anyway. Ah well. Our dinner was delicious and I didn’t eat til I got the Kanack Attack ; )
Hubby took Kamalani to the store today and she nagged for toys since they already have the place decked out in Christmas decorations. Halloween isn’t even here yet, we’ve still got Thanksgiving to go but already the Christmas stuff is out to torment little children for the next two months. Isn’t that cruel?
Hubby found out his position has been extended for another year here. In a way, that’s good news because it’s so safe here but then I won’t be able to be with my sons. They’ll understand, I hope. I haven’t told them the wonderful news yet, still working on mustering up the courage to disappoint them. They were looking forward to having their Mom and Dad back. It’s just another year, we’ll all survive it.
Plans for this week? I have no plans right now but I’m sure fun and adventure will await us, as it usually does.
