Thanksgiving!

Hello Everyone,
Thanksgiving is around the bend and typically on the Tuesday before, my house would be full of the aromas of a home made sofrito and adobo.  My hands would be either helping my sis and dad season the turkey and maybe preparing one of our many desserts for our Thanksgiving dinner.
This year however, I do not have to do a bunch of cooking, I will be joining my beau at his family's dinner.  While it's a great feeling to know that I can rest and just take myself and my appetite to the dinner that I was invited to... I have been going back and forth, figuring out what I should take to the hosts.  They said I need not bring anything.. but it's such a foreign feeling.. no cooking at all on thanksgiving, not even a pie or cookies?
So, I think that I may just take a box of chocolates, or chocolate covered pretzels and strawberries, with a homemade batch of chocolate chip cookies.. come on, who can say no to CHOCOLATE! Chocolate is an always welcomed treat in my book.

in the mean time I will give thanks.. to have a happy stomach and free hands!

Be blessed,
Minda
