<p>@pennylane2011: the vegetarian meatloaf does freeze very well and tastes even better according to D…and Oldfort…what did your family think about your cooking 
of Thanksgiving dinner?</p>
<p>Thanksgiving went great at my house, other than stress from having certain family members hovering literally RIGHT over my shoulder pretty much all day. The potatoes were phenomenal–I wish I could have snuck some of the few leftovers past TSA, as I flew back to CO early on Black Friday morning.</p>
<p>We were able to have grandpa over for dinner, which was a huge blessing. He has Lewy Body Dementia and has moved to a nursing home in the last 6 weeks or so, and we weren’t sure if he would do well coming over; but he seemed to really enjoy himself. He also told the woman who runs the home when my sister, dad, and I went to see him–“Look, all my grandkids are here!” (My older brother was not there but my sister’s boyfriend was, and it was nice that he at least knew who I was. We were all a little uncertain.)</p>
<p>Oh, and it was about 75-80 degrees the whole time I was home, while it was 30-35 here in CO. Gotta love SoCal.</p>
