If you’ve got loved ones, a roof over your head, and food in your stomach, you’ve got more than many people around you. With the unforeseen circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic and the unsettling increase case count, this Thanksgiving will not be like any others. Friends, family and loved ones may or may not be able to pull up a chair at the dinner table, and thus, it’s so much more important to find meaningful ways to stay connected with the people you care about most. Inspired by safety and health precautions, I spent this year’s Thanksgiving with my Mom and sister.
While we missed out on our usual 30lb turkey and my Dad’s famous sticky rice stuffing, we did make it up with cornish game hen and sides of brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and candied yams. And because no meal would be complete without dessert, we (over-) indulged in an apple and persimmon crumble along with pumpkin pies from Petaluma Pie Company (worth the extra trip!).
Today was all about being thankful for good health and being able to spend time with family. I am ever so grateful for these blessings and having my loved ones humbly share this holiday with me. Staying safe for a better tomorrow.
Happy Thanksgiving!
