"Happy Thanksgiving" To All.....
Okay, how's this?
It's 8:15am, I'm still in my pajamas. My Husband prepared a turkey last night and put it in a bag. I think he said i'm supposed to put it in the oven at noon at 350 or something like that. He went to work. He mentioned something about mashed potatoes, and some kinds of vegetables too. Hmmm.... I might have to call him for directions on those. There is a pumpkin pie and a cherry pie intact, but the banana cream pie now has two pieces missing.... :)
It is strange this year, just My husband, myself and our 7 year old. Everyone else is doing their own thing. That's okay, I'm actually relieved that I don't have to be in a large croud today. Heck, I might as well stay in my pajamas all day! "Good times"

I have a vegan daughter and one who used to be a vegetarian but now has added fish. (we call her a fishaterian). So, we are having:
Fruit salad (my specialty, via Granny)
Vegetable antipasto (currently marinating)
Shrimp kebabs (for the fishaterian, she's making them)
Tofu kebabs (for the vegan)
Turkey and gravy (for the rest of us)
Stuffing (in the bird and vegan in a casserole)
Mashed potatoes and vegan gravy (made by the vegan girl)
Some kind of yams (ditto)
Cranberry sauce (apparently the other daughter's specialty,
involves craisins and mandarin oranges, sounds good)
broccoli with lemon pepper sauce
rhubarb pie and vegan pumpkin pie (made 'em last night)
sparkling cider for the kids and mimosas for the grownups
I used to do 2 dinners one on Tday and a vegan one the day after but we have less people this year. I am thankful (among other things) that I ditched the dysfunctional husband and his dysfunctional family. Talked to him last night, their not having Thanksgiving because his brother's in jail for DUI. So, what about the kids? I invited them all to my house but they wanted to stay at his mom's and mope. Just as well, we'll have a better time without them.
I have a house full of family, and the holiday off! The cooking saga that began yesterday will continue. Our menu
Smoked Turkey
Cornbread Dressing
Green Beans
Salad
Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes
Sweet Potato Pie
Pecan Pie
and homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
and my all time favorite Cheesy Grit Casserole, wouldn't be T-Day without it!
