Are you from Buffalo NY? You wrote your family is from Western NY. I am from Buffalo with lots of family all over that area. I left when I was 20 years old but it took me 10 more years to make it to Northern Cali.

With one set of parents in Portland and one in LA (and both wanting to call dibs on us), we decided to blow off driving and have a nice, quiet, long weekend at home in the Bay Area. (Who wants to drive all day with teenagers in the car? I mean, I love them dearly, but really!)

Glad your holiday turned out better than expected. Everything’s better with butter, right?

I gave up counting the stitcks of butta after I topped out at 12 cups of sugar. Some things you just don’t need to know…hehe

I considered using butter in my pies, but then decided it would just be gratuitous adding it on top of the half & half. Still, it was well represented. David made his traditional seitan dressing, which does have butter and which I think you might like, and we dined with our lesbian godmothers as usual at Wendy’s father’s house. It was cozy and low-key, the way it ought to be.

Glad to read you had a good experience this year. As we have spent a number of t-days with another family trying to eat healthily (and ending up with combinations such as cranberries with Splenda–don’t try it), I didn’t find the food quite what people talk it up to be. But this year we stayed home, each of us had a hand in the food without causing any major kitchen wars, and the food was especially good. I had the feeling that butter had come to visit this year, and I was satisfied.
