Scott's Spa

Food, glorious food. We got to Scott and Buffy's house, and the first thing Buffy did is show me the leftovers that they saved for me: smoked redfish dip, grilled redfish, sushi-grade tuna, and kickin' chicken salad. She had also cooked a huge pot of her Buffy's Best Butterbeans and put them in the freezer. Yum! What an orgy of fabulous flavors.

We went shopping for Thanksgiving table cloths and turkeys while Richard prepared Scott's hallway for painting. We purchased three twenty-plus pound birds. On the way back to Scott's, I checked in with my niece Melanie, who lives down the street from Scott with her husband and two baby boys. She asked me if I wanted her to bring her turkey to Thanksgiving dinner. Four turkeys, one ham, chicken gumbo, potaoto salad, and two pans of dressing are only the beginning of what we'll feast on come Thursday.

Rachel's family is heading down from Atlanta for the festivities. We're expecting over thirty people, so we're busy relaxing in Scott's hot tub to work up the energy for more food and house preparation.
