MR's First American Thanksgiving
At least the first one in awhile. MR had Thanksgiving dinner with my family, and it went very well. He had 150 grams of lean white turkey meat, grilled by my father on the grill, with some vegetarian mushroom gravy he made. along with 44 g of cranberry relish that my step-mother makes with splenda, a small serving of Jack Daniels sweet potatoes also made with splenda, 100 g turnips (it's a Canadian thing apparently) and his amazing pumpkin flan. I will get the flan recipe from him to publish on the blog because it really was delicious. Just as good as a pumpkin pie with less than half the calories. We had a lovely time with my step-brother, sister-in-law, and niece Madeline. I had very small portions of the family Thanksgiving farvorites: turkey, spinach, creamed spinach, cranberry relish (1 bag cranberries, 1 cup splenda, juice of one lemon: 283 calories for a giant bowl that serves more than six people) Jack Daniels sweet potatoes and stuffing.
It was wonderful to have my Orange One at our family Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for this year: it's hard to know where to start. I am especially thankful for MR and the happiness he's brought into my life. He makes me want to live as long as I can so that I can spend more time with him.
Tomorrow we're heading out to meet the grandparents. MR is putting on his orange sweater to be the Orange One in all his orange glory. My father had expected him to be a bit oranger. I knew I should have dipped him in pumpkin before introducing him to the parents!

For being so grateful for MR, you keep feeding him the toxic food additive, Splenda. This is a pro-aging food substance, you know that, right? Using CR is a significant commitment, so to partially sabotage your efforts by purposely ingesting toxins comes off as very strange.
It doesn't take much effort to learn of Splenda's toxic side-effects, and I've been warning you against using this farcical artificial sweetener for maybe a year.
