Just bought the groceries.
No sh!t it was almost $200!
Mom is coming up, I always invite her to next Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving itself so one of my siblings doesn't beat me to it.
I make the pies the night before.
2 pumpkin, a cherry, mince, and apple, and those little swirlies out of leftover dough with cinnamon & sugar.
We have pie for breakfast (if you read what I wrote on the other Thanksgiving topic you'll know why)
We watch the parades on TV, they are not as exciting as when I was a kid.
I get up about 6 then start cooking. We eat at 1pm.
Rachael helps me with some stuff and I make the boys peel the potatoes.
This year everyone bugged me to make that stupid green bean casserole.
But there are a few things we have to have, and we only have on that day.
Niblets corn (boil in bag with fake butter sauce)
Layered biscuits (the kind in the roll in the refrigerated section of the store)
Candied sweet potatoes
Spray whipped cream
and Cool Whip
Also make all the other stuff that everybody else makes.
This year I could not find pearl onions, so I don't have to make creamed ones.
Rachael and my soon-to-be daughter-in-law Kate do the dishes.
Rachael can't reach the sink too well at 8 months pregnant this year.
My sons lounge around and sleep and watch TV.
As for Black Friday....no.
The best thing about Thanksgiving (to me) is the turkey sandwiches the next day on white bread with mayo and lettuce, smash the bread.
And cold stuffing for breakfast.
This year I have my kitchen torn apart so I better get off of 101 and get busy.
Have a great day everybody!
Love....Jill
