My Saturday Evening Post: 11/29/25 “An Evening Late/A Perfect Evening”

Posted on November 29, 2025November 29, 2025 by Neal Saye

So after a wonderful holiday celebration on Thanksgiving Day itself over at my daughter Amy’s on Skidaway Island, Robert and I had our own little family Thanksgiving celebration here at home last night.

It was really Robert’s night as culinary chef. I just helped with prep and cleanup mainly.

Here he is tying up the Cornish hens …

Toasting the cornbread for the sage sausage dressing …

Pan frying the bacon and brussels sprouts …

HR set it all up on this neat little high rise table …

Oh wait, I did do something! I set up the festive holiday dining table.

I probably should not have done this, but as Robert started to say a beautiful Thanksgiving Blessing, I opened my eyes real quick and photographed him. (Who does such a thing?!)

The prayer went on quite a while. I had ample opportunity for a cute close-up.

He caught me after he muttered a too-quick “Amen,” not allowing me time to hide my iPhone.

Then on to the food!

Scrumptiously delicious.

Oh, and don’t forget his pumpkin pie!

What a Delicious Feast with Just the Two of Us.

And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.

There’s More Than One Way to Defy Gravity

Posted on November 25, 2025November 25, 2025 by Neal Saye

So this afternoon, HR (Husband Robert, to the uninitiated), Ex-wife Donna and I went to see the current top-grossing film in the nation, Wicked: For Good.

We got our popcorn and headed for Auditorium One, when we decided we REALLY needed photo documentation (well, perhaps I alone decided that, but HR and Donna went along).

Not the greatest photo quality, but (spoiler alert for the rest of the post) I’m with the two Loves of My Life

In a weird way, just the three of us out together on a movie date is … Defying Gravity.

it may look dark in this theatre, but … it’s really not.

“It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down”

I Have Been.

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling?

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 11/10/25

Posted on November 10, 2025 by Neal Saye

I’m marveling this Monday morn, remembering two recent preposterously delicious meals Robert and I shared.

First, Robert absolutely outdid himself the other night at supper with his Fisherman’s Pie.

Starring cod, shrimp, smoked salmon snd crab leg meat.

With a supporting cast of leeks, spinach and heavy cream. Topped off with succulent mashed potatoes.

Somewhat similar to a seafood chowder, with a thicker consistency.

Oh my GOODNESS.

The recipe HR used, in case you’re interested:

Trying not to be outdone, I put together (in my mother‘s old cast iron skillet, which actually belonged to her mother) another supper of Bone-In Pork Chops with Honey-crisp Apples and Spiced Cider.
