Ok- So. Thanksgiving. Yes.<\/p>\n
Now, to be fair, we were invited two other places for Thanksgiving, and I thank them for inviting me, but have my reasons for saying no. Heh. Also – at this point, even if nana and papa and auntie and fam, all decide to go elsewhere – we’re making that damn bird.<\/p>\n
Yes! I said WE. Because The Girl? Is all KINDS of excited about this endeavor. She loves to cook. Clearly the “suzy homemaker” gene skips a generation and she got it FULL FORCE. So excited is she, she VACUUMED my living room. Granted, I need to pull the vacuum apart and unclog it so it does a better job, but the effort was made.<\/p>\n
Today, she gets to tackle the dishes. Hee. (Yes – that’d be reason number ONE i had kids. #2? Carry in my grocerys of course. What, you think they’ll carry themselves in? I think not!)<\/p>\n
So – the menu! Turkey and. Well. Turkey.<\/p>\n
hahah. Just kidding. We’re all about tradition round bout here – so it’s Turkey, stuffing, mashed’tatos (looking into that browned butter recipe Nana – we think it’s a winner!) noodles (papa’s fave), sweet’tatos, green beans, and, of course, cheesecake for dessert.<\/p>\n
No – I’m not making pie. I don’t make pie. I’m not even buying pie, because i have a perfectly good cheesecake in my freezer. Cheesecake trumps pie ANY day. *grin*<\/p>\n
So there we have it. We have a plan. Now I must shop. Nana has the turkey (since we are very unsure how long the one in my freezer has been there – so we’re thawing it for ze noodles and such) and we’ve got various other things, and a single (…who am I kidding, I’m gonna forget SOMETHING. at least two..) trip to the store will have us ready to go…<\/p>\n
I think. Hee! Won’t this be FUN? Sure ya don’t wanna come over for dinner??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
