Dinner party was fun — simple Chicken dish with steamed veg. Wow — I have seen those cheapy steamers in the store, but dang. I never knew just how cool / useful / convenient they were. The hostess had a 3-decker … and used 1 level for potatoes, 1 level for broccoli, and 1 level for carrots … all came out so tender & full of good nutrients, so easy. They were telling me you can also do rice & crustless bread in the thing. I was impressed 
You know what else is impressive? Conrad just uploaded pictures from his Macy’s-Day-Parade-Eve walk around our neighborhood. The balloons are all inflated and ready for the big day tomorrow (a bit strange to look at them close-up and netted down, but still neat to imagine it). Next year, I *will* be there to experience it *with* Conrad, but this is a good step!

I’ve always been impressed by the “layered” steamers. I’ve seen (on TV) them cook meats and veggies at the same time this way. Maybe someday I’ll try it.
Seeing them get ready for the parade is almost as good as the parade itself. I know you’ll enjoy it next year, and then Conrad can see the parade, too.
We are counting down the days now until we can see you again.
Love, Mom R
my dad and I did that one year by ourselves because the rest of the family was “too cold” It’s surreal and a little disconcerting to see them.
What ISN’T disconcerting is thatyou said you’d be here next year. Yay!
Sounds like you had a fun visit. Have you found a steamer that you like yet or are you thinking CHRISTMAS present for Conrad??? Hmmm Love those romantic gifts…they start to happen after year TWO…Conrad has a bit of time left before he gets stuff like that for presents…just don’t forget about it.
I was happy to read that you plan to be in and around the city in 2008…something fun to look forward to next Thanksgiving! YEAH!!!
