I think it turned out rather nicely :-)

Dinner for Two...
Jake and I had Thanksgiving dinner together, just the two of us. Neither of us are particularly fond of the idea that Thanksgiving is centered around food (most of which is relatively unhealthy), and being the health nuts that we are, we found our own focus. We did a 4.2 miles run together down by the river and then had a light dinner complete with a healthy salad, steamed beans, and some chicken. We kept it light because we still had to save room for a little dessert with my family. It was nice to have a simple meal with Jake and talk about the different things that we're grateful for. It was also nice to see so many members of my extended family that I haven't seen in the longest time!
Here are a couple pictures of the table arrangement I put together. I only bought new dishes, the rest I borrowed from my room and trees outside. And the dishes were only 2 bucks a piece! Score.

A salad and chicken? Thats impressive you were able to resist the deliciousness of Thanksgivibg dinner. While its unhealthy I only get Grandma's thanksgiving stuffing once a year. It's my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about Thanksgiving dinner with our family is that the food is cooked from scratch. Nothing out of a box or a can.
Your graduation picture is gorgeous!
I agree that food from scratch is a wonderful thing. I haven't had food that good for a long time - most of my college meals are frozen or from a box. You are much better at making time to cook than I am.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you about the graduation picture! I'm not in love with the idea of airbrushing, but these were done for my college department and that's what they do...
I went to that photographers website and noticed that they definitely love to make people's skin look a little too perfect. Nonetheless, you are still absolutely gorgeous!
