Rum & Stone's...

November 25, 2011

After our Turkey sedation finally wore off,

 we slept in (gotta get out of this habit!), enjoyed coffee in the cockpit(gotta make this more of a habit!),

  did our morning chores like fill the water tanks...tidy up...etc...

Got ourselves cleaned up & headed to 

Railean's Rum Openhouse

Eagle Point Distillery

San Leon, TX
Kelly was having an Openhouse to share her local Rum & Agave Spirits!

Then we hopped in the 'zip-zip' car & headed to Bryan/College Station to have a very

Short but Sweet visit with our daughter & son-in-love,

 Chrissy & Micheal, 

and our dear friends & Micheal's Grandparents,

Grady & Nancy.

We visited for a bit at their hotel before dinner. We brought Chrissy a Railean Rum Distillery Chef's Apron & a Kelly Railean signed bottle of Blue Agave Spirits for Micheal.

We went to really nice restaurant for dinner...had a great time!!

Late nite getting back to OWT! We were so tired. I slept most of the way home.

 Thankfully my Hubby & Love of my life can stay awake after overeating & drive  us home!!

Our First Thanksgiving on Our Way Too!

I could go on & on & on...

The Blessings in my life are daily & the list is long!

We slept in & woke up this morning to a quiet beautiful sunny day with our coffee in the cockpit of 

Our Way Too!

We decided to start preparations for our ~Thanksgiving Dinner~ so that we could eat early afternoon.

Menu

~Turkey~

 (an actual 'Bird' IF we could stuff it into OWT's oven!)

~Stuffing~

 (Stovetop - Hey...we can't be too fancy here!)

~Mashed Potatoes~

(Idahoan Instant-stockin' up on these babies for cruzin'! EZ & YUM)

~Gravy~

(Out of a jar-tasted just fine)

~Sweet Potatoes~

(Bake in Microwave)

~Corn~

(Whole Kernel-heat & eat)
~Rolls~
(No baking required!)

~Cranberry Sauce~

(Jellied kind...just for Dean!)

~Cherry Pie~

(No...I did not bake it myself...but it was warm when I bought it!)

Because this was a moving week we really did keep it simple & easy. But we were able to stuff (just barely) a 12 pound Turkey Bird into the galley oven!

The Bird is almost done!!

I have decided we will shoot for a 10 pound next time! Dean thought he was gonna have to beat the bird down to fit it in there! 

We enjoyed a blessed, wonderful, relaxing day, cooking together...

Carving the Turkey!

Husband & Wife...

A Toast to our 1st Thanksgiving aboard Our Way Too!

Would you believe we were sooooooo full??!! We even forgot to nuke the sweet potatoes and make the stuffing!! Never even realized it til we were doing up the dishes!

 I picked the Bird clean for leftovers then walked over and joined our new marina friends...

Cory & Tammy~S/V Menestheus~ (recently engaged & liveaboards too!),

  up in the clubhouse for the last quarter of the Cowboys game, dessert, & the latest 'Pirates of the Caribbean-On Stranger Tides' movie.
