Happy Thanksgiving, Patriots!

This Thanksgiving, I’m making a salad with some unusual ingredients from my garden.  Unusual to me, anyway, as I didn’t know you could eat the tops of radishes, carrots, and beets, as well as the leaves of Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and other cabbage-family plants.  Heck, maybe everyone knows this, and I was the last to know . . . and now I’m posting about it like “hey, I just found out about this new-fangled picture box that you can watch little people act out stories on. It’s so cool; you have to check this ‘television’ thing out!”.  I’m rather excited about the whole thing, to be sure, especially as this poor specimen of a Brussels plant doesn’t look likely to grow any sprouts. Ever.

But look at all those yummy leaves!  It’s the small things, this year, for which I am thankful–the big things, too, like family, friends, all of you, but . . . well, you know, learning that I can eat radish leaves (and that they are actually yummy) is quite special to me.

. . . and of course:

You know, I might just watch that episode of Buffy later today (on my Roku, of course, another of those little things for which I am thankful).

Happy, thankful thoughts, prayers, and love to all of you this Thanksgiving (pick the one or ones you want :)).
