We interrupt this story...

Sorry to interrupt the story of my 2 week break...

but I wanted to let you know what I'm doing right now:

For Thanksgiving this year, I'll be in Turkey.

Thats right.

Since I can't eat Turkey this year, I'll be going to the country of Turkey.

And I couldn't be more excited!!!!!!!!!

I'll tell you more about why I'm excited and what I do while there when I get back.

But first I want to assure you that on this Thanksgiving, I couldn't be more thankful for the people in my life- friends and family.

This trip would be impossible without my family and miserable without my friends.

If I thought I could list all my blessings without missing something or someone, I would. But I'm too overwhelmed to think that that would be possible.

So thank you. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your support. Thank you for taking time to care enough to read this. It means the world to me.

And now...b/c its what all the other bloggers I know are doing, I will share my favorite Thanksgiving recipe

Amelia's Famous Chess Pie 

1 unbaked pie shell
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 Tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons cornmeal
5 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon banilla
Grated nutmeg

Beat the eggs until thick and lemon colored. Add the sugar, milk, flour, cornmeal, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly and pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg on top. Bake in a preheated 300° oven for about an hour, or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean. 

I have made this every Holiday season since I was 6 years old. Its what I do. And its delicious. I don't really expect you to make it, but I thought I would share it anyway. 

Lots of love to you all! And infinite blessings this Thanksgiving and all through the season
