Happy Holidays DC American Turkey Meat Loaf Obama Victory Cake

Well hello to all you foodies out there in web land, I hope all is well and that you had a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends.  My hubby and I went to DC again and just loved it.  They served Ham, Turkey, Dressing, Green Bean Casserole, Mashed Potato's and a Mixed Fruit Pie and Baked Apple Turnovers.  All was well in the hood and tasty I might add.  My son had friends and family this Thanksgiving at their home in the hood, as they call it.  We talked about the election and even though I batted for the other team when it all came down to it.  The Dem's want the same things for America as I do.  They want to be free and live with out government control and live where we can prosper as a nation.  We are all Americans living in this big melting pot of people with all the same dreams of what America should be.  So on this Thanksgiving I give thanks for every American and for our freedom and I say God Bless to the men and women who help keep us free.  Now let's talk about what other foods we made while I was in DC.  I made a Pecan Pie for Peggy Parnell and I made stir fried Collard Greens and Meat Loaf for the Hood party for my friend Anne Seymour. Then to show my support for our Presidents re-election I made a Blue-berry Obama Victory Cake.  Which I will be sharing at another time.  So am ready to share a few pictures from our Thanksgiving with you all on this blog.  We also hung out at the DC Market down Town and I always love looking at all the fresh meats and foods there.  If you are ever in DC on the weekend you need to stop by for a wonderful experience.
