The turkey was delicious. The cranberry sauce (made from scratch from fresh Ontario cranberries that I bought in the Byward Market this afternoon) was everything I hoped for. The pies from the 3 Tarts... well, they were as good as anything I've ever had from them.

Afterwards we watched Billy Elliot, a movie I've seen before, and loved. I cried over it again. I think the actor who plays Billy's brother Tony is really cute - he looks familiar, but I don't think I've seen him in anything else. The actor's name is Jamie Draven.

Then I finished my reading of all the Catwomen comics I was able to get. They were superb, and I think it gets better as it goes - though it's hard to say. It isn't so much that the quality improves as that each story draws on characters and events that came before, so it deepens in richness and significance.

Of course, I only have some of the issues, so there are huge gaps in the story for me. As usual, I loved the rare appearances of Batman, with his mysterious personality and his ambivalent relationship with Selina.

I just rented and watched Billy Elliot about a week ago and loved it. :-) Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, isn't it great? I forgot how many good things there are about it. Loved it the second time around.

I drove by 3 Tarts the other day - it's good? I'll have to go and try it out.

My sister was watching Billy Elliot after dinner; I had to study. :( But our turkey turned out very well too. :) I'm so happy. :)

3 Tarts has the best baked goods I have ever tasted, bar none. I have not tasted everything they sell. It's a quest. I particularly recommend the butter tarts. The berry pies are amazing too. Like no other pies I've ever tasted.

I think Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays anyone ever conceived of. My second turkey today was as good as yesterday's.
