More thankfulness

[same_sky]

I just have a minute while my broccoli casserole* is cooking before we leave for the the big family thing. I got a little off track with the whole thankfulness thing, posting them for the previous day in the mornings, so I'm going to do a double dose today to end the whole thing.

• I'm thankful for the kind of husband who would run in here, place a little kiss on my forehead and run back to the livingroom without saying a word.
  
• I'm thankful for a close family, one that loves each other a lot even though we might disagree on everything under the sun.
  
• I'm thankful that I've found out who I am and I can be that person without regret.
  
• I'm thankful that my creative side has been developing in the last couple of years.
  
• I'm thankful for my friends, both real-life and online, who care enough to sympathize with me AND kick my ass now and then.
  
• I'm thankful for.. oh, let's be honest, alright? I'm thankful for my computer. ;)
  
• I'm thankful for good books and to a lesser degree, good movies.
  
• I'm thankful for my new carpet, which I still beam at every time I walk through my house.
  
• I'm thankful--extremely thankful--for my glasses. Really. Blind as a bat.
  
• I'm thankful to have found the kind of love I used to dream of.

*I make divine broccoli casseroles. People nag me for days before a holiday to make sure I'm bringing it. It IS delicious. I don't like to brag about my casserole skills too much, though, because it's not the kind of thing I would like to be known for cooking, really. It uses velveeta and ritz crackers. ;) That's not the classiest thing in the entire world, but man, is it good.

Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll.

That's what I love about the sound of it. Thanks for trying to explain velveeta - I'm still a bit confused though :) It sounded like cottage cheese at first but I don't think that can be it. I'll look on the Net :)

Well done for having found 'your' dish, that people always ask you for :)

It's not cottage cheese like at all. Picture a sticky orange brick that gives somewhat to the touch.

A Google search reveals:

Altho Velveeta isn't sold in Australia there is a subsitute. I use Kraft
Cheddar Cheese (the yellow one...not the cream cheese spread) in the jar.
Ever seen it? Well it makes a great quick cheese sauce or will substitute
in anything that calls for velveeta.

And:

[Use] Velveeta-or in Australia, Kraft processed cheese in the blue box.

It's a Kraft product, btw. Not that that matters, I've made it sound so disgusting that no one would ever consider using it. A spongy orange brick indeed.

Yeah, that's pretty enticing :)

But I do get what you mean now - that very fake tasting cheese stuff in a jar down here tastes fab when it's melted on cauliflower so it must be similar. Yum!!
