Tryptophan Blogging
tryp�to�phan: An essential amino acid, C11H12N2O2, formed from proteins during digestion by the action of proteolytic enzymes. It is necessary for normal growth and development and is the precursor of several substances, including serotonin and niacin. (www.dictionary.com)
I'd say we all did a little growing and developing this evening. Mostly around the stomach area.
The feast was a success! The turkey was absolutely stunning - perfectly cooked, and so moist. Well done, Tim! And my stuffing - oooh baby. Did I outdo myself this year. My stuffing ROCKS. I bake my stuffing - I don't do it in the bird (I'm too paranoid).
Patti brought her infamous deviled eggs, and we had the rest of the usual accompaniments - mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole (also from Patti), and of course pumpkin pie (courtesy of Tim's mom). I even remembered to put out the cranberry sauce before the meal started, despite my genetic predisposition to the contrary.
It was a little crowded with 11 of us, but it was really good to have everyone together. We're looking forward to next year though when we'll actually be able to sit down around a table :-)
