What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

I am totally cheating. I am buying a pre-cooked dinner so that we can enjoy the day.

To my way of thinking, this is a wonderful way to do it...

I am playing it safe this year. Even though many people have invited me....including someone who says "One rule. What goes on here stays here."

So, it will be the same thing I did last year.

I will be cooking a turkey for me and the dog. Though now I think I have adopted a stray cat.

(I don't think it is really a stray because it has been on and off here for almost a year, and it looks to be well fed. However, I did notice it has been declawed. poor kitty.)

It is nice to have been given the entire week off rather than just three days. We needed that.

I'll be stuck sitting here in Green Acres while wishing I could be in Chicago!

Hopefully Thanksgiving will involve Daddy, me, and my daughter. If none of us get put on quarantine between now and then. We will zoom with my parents and sister in law and nephews at some point. Over the next day or two I'm going to make some of the traditional dishes that I always make for Thanksgiving and leave them on doorsteps for my parents and Sister in law. (wearing a mask and gloves while cooking) I will make my mom fudge bars that she loves and my Grandma's corn spoon bread that we all love. For my sister in law and my parents I will make a dish that I have made almost every year since I realized it got my brother to eat Brussels Sprouts (Sorry cover your eyes for a minute Gemme) I roast them with fresh cranberries and top with a confetti of crumbled bacon and roasted pecans. My brother loved them. I couldn't get myself to make them last year without him here to eat them but I'll try for this year. For my nephews, I will drop them off a vat of my pasta that they love so much. It's very simple but they lose their minds for it.

At home we are planning a simple fish dinner. My daughter is baking bread, Daddy wants to get big lobster tails, and I will make some vegetable sides.

I hope everyone stays safe this year, though it can feel lonely.

The sad thing is, it sounds delicious. It really does. But then I taste it.



Thanks for the head's up! Everything else sounds great. I hope you have a wonderful holiday meal and time with your family.

Can I have Gemme’s serving? I love Brussels and those sound especially good!

I’m planning on ham steak, green beans, roasted baby potatoes and yam “pie”. Maybe get some FaceTime in with Mom, we’ll see...

I picked up a can of Pillsbury Cinnabon rolls for breakfast.

Dinner will be, prime rib. I got a 2.75 pound version. I also will make twice baked potatoes and a pumpkin surprise dessert. I may or may not be sharing dinner??

I'll be putting up a garland across the front of the house with sparkly seashells and seahorses. I have a piece of plywood that will become a holiday sign that will lean up close to the front door.

And then..finish Christmas mask to wear to work on black Friday. ( no super early hours for me!)
