The Curmudgeon prefers chicken to turkey therefore I made a roasted chicken. My special garlic rosemary one. It turned out tender and delicious, just the way he loves it.

Since it is only the two of us, we don’t fuss too much with ‘all the trimmings.’ For example I use Stove Top stuffing and I buy a pumpkin pie rather than bake one. I did make an orange cranberry bread though and the gravy is also made from the pan drippings just like Gramma taught me.

A side dish of collard greens finished off the meal with a lovely balance.

For those of you in the States, I hope you had a good holiday and I hope today is nice as well.

For those of you everywhere else, have a good one!

This is where Lucy spent the evening.
