No Dragons Were Harmed in the Making of this Film for many years, our Thanksgiving tradition has been to see a movie on Thanksgiving and then come home and have a small dinner, and then go to my aunt and uncle's home on Friday for their Thanksgiving.

We saw "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" on Thursday, and the above was the note at the end of the credits. It was an excellent film and I thought did a good job of distilling the book into the movie. It's quite intense, though, and Xavier is probably about the youngest age I'd take a child to it.

We had a small tofurky, with potatoes and carrots, vegetarian gravy, mashed potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce and a pumpkin pie for dessert. My uncle as usual prepared an incredible feast yesterday with a strada, quiche, roasted vegetables, fennel, and other yummy treats.

It was a good Thanksgiving; I hope you can say the same! And, no dragons were harmed. It's a good thing.

I've seen those tofurkeys and was a bit scared. How do they actually taste?

We saw Harry as well, and I have to agree, I thought my Max was the youngest child that should have been in the theater. It was a bit dark. He liked it, but as a mother I do anything to avoid giving him excuses for not going to bed at nite!! LOL

you should have announced to the family at meal time:

No Turkey's were harmed in the Making of this Dinner.


"tofurky" is a fun word.
