Wednesday, November, 25, 2009...
Any readers following me on a regular basis know if it's Wednesday, it's time to Rant and Rave about the past week. However, this week, I've decided only to Rave as it is Thanksgiving week. Without further adieu, here are my Raves from the past week:
Rave: Yesterday, my husband helped me drop off 56 lbs of food to the local food pantry. I was happy I was able to help. I just wish it wasn't necessary.
Rave: Shopping for Thanksgiving meal done. Maybe because I've been doing it for so many years, but the menu is in place and will be a breeze.
Rave: Spending time with friends last week over good food and wine.
Rave: Yoga Girl got us tickets to see Tom Colicchio, Padma and Gail Simmons (tv show Top Chef judges)at a NY Times talk series.
Rave: Natasha at Girl Stuck in a Rut has given me the Superior Scribbler award. Tasha is losing weight, but with a twist - MEATLESS. She has given me some ideas on replacing my food choices with meatless options...AND... she's great at answering questions (for me it was about the right type of tofu to try). Besides sharing her food choices, she shares her journey on slimming down. Thanks Tasha!
Rave: Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family.
Rave: I appreciate all the name suggestions for the triathlon team with my sisters. Many names were clever and other comments made me laugh. Thanks. I'll let you know what we decide upon.
Rave: Followers...anyone that takes the time to read my blog and for those who comment. Thanks.
That's it for me. Any Rants and Raves you want to share? I would love to read them. Just click on the linky thing for anyone that wants to participate in Rant and Rave Wednesday. Please be respectful and do not use the linky thing if you are just promoting your blog (yes, this is my only Rant for this week).

A lot to be happy/thankful for.
The preparations here are also mostly done - except for the vacuuming and cleaning in prep for tomorrow.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family. I know the meal is going to be divine.
Best Thanksgiving wishes from a fellow Nutmegger.

All raves. You go girl. Happy holidays.
I'm not a tofu fan. Really I've tried several different kinds and tried in in different meals, but I just can't do it. Good luck to you tho!
Followers are the best... and I'm glad I'm one of yours. Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the time with your family.

Happy holidays! And now I'm going to have to check out Natasha's blog since I am trying to eat less meat
Candice – I hope you had a nice holiday too!
Badass Geek – Thank you – hope you did too!
OP – trust me, only because it was Thanksgiving week.
Dan – I hate cleaning and think that’s the worst part of any holiday at my house.
Peach Tart – It was yummy and even happier that most of the leftovers were given away.
Berowne – I hope you had a good holiday.
Pseudonymous High School - I hope you had a great holiday.
Helen – I completely understand. I’m having a relapse with my ear and feel under the weather. Take care of yourself.
Green-Eyed Momster – No rants because it was Thanksgiving, trust me, I have some.
Matty – Thanks and I hope you had a great holiday.
rxBambi – I tried tofu in the late 80’s when it first became trendy and hated it. There was only one type. I have to admit, I haven’t mastered it, but I don’t hate it like I used to.
Muffy – Oh, I can’t wait!
Phermonally Gifted – Thanks.
That corgi – It was a pretty drama free Thanksgiving and I hope yours was the same.
Fgrngtllt – You have Boxing Day – oh wait, that’s just a day of shopping? Hmmmm…no holidays where it’s just about the food? No wonder Americans have a weight problem.
Otin - I’m looking forward to your next visit up North to meet.
Melanie’s Randomness – I hope you had a good Thanksgiving – where in CT is your grandma?
Jules – Thanks.
McGillicutty – Don’t worry they’ll be here next week.
Unknown Mami – Thanks and I hope you had a great one too. Mine was pretty drama free.
Spot – Thanks. I hope you had a great holiday.
Mrs.notouching – Thanks – finding meals with no meat that aren’t all beans is a different world for me. It’s nice when others try out dishes first and give their opinions.
