The British are Coming....actually we went to them

SO to celebrate Thanksgiving, the holiday commerating the first feast of the Pilgrims who escaped the tyranny of British rule, well, we went to a pub called Big Bens'! Now when I first suggested this idea to Justin, neither one of us even sniffed the irony. Most of our friends were out of town, we couldn't make it to Tennesse as Justin was on call and neither one of us wanted to cook a big meal for just the three of us (Oscar was a little disgruntled at the lack of turkey). So I made reservations for a turkey dinner at the British Pub. They had mashed potatoes and stuffing along with English (non-stripper) pastys and turnips. At least I had the turkey - Benedict Arnold across the table ordered roast beef!
It was a nice meal although I will admit I was a little dissappointed that they were not offering pumpkin or pecan pie - I had bread pudding (delicious) and Justin had Berry Cobbler (he wasn't too thrilled with it).
Other than that, it was a pretty quiet holiday. Sharon and I checked out Latta Plantation's trails on Saturday which were actually pretty decent. Justin and I waited until Sunday to hit the mall - we headed towards Carolina Place to check out the new REI store where Justin was in a gear daze for an hour or so.
And for the rest of weekend, I slept while Justin listened to me cough up a lung - nasty colds are going around both of our offices and I got my turn with it last week.

So here's a belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Hope all is well!
