We had two people over for the actual Thanksgiving meal...of which some parts had been tailored to suit my diet. The gravy was made with potato starch and coconut milk -providing a stark contrast to wheat flour and regular milk. The stuffing (which has so many fans that it couldn't be cut out) couldn't be cooked inside the turkey, like a lot of people like it. I had to have my own little bowls of mashed potatoes and broccoli because there was butter and/or milk in the bigger dishes. There was cranberry jello and cranberry jelly -the jello had sour cream in it. It was in a ring and the jelly was in the center. Before the meal started I had to scoop out an unsightly hole in the jelly so that the jello wouldn't get in it.

Now we have four more people -and the couple who was here on Thanksgiving -who are all staying until Monday morning. The only reason I've not been that noticeable is that Mom does what's possible to make food 'safe' -like putting millet in the turkey soup instead of barley.

I'll try to check back on Tuesday!
