How did this HAPPEN?? Two weeks from now we will be waking up with a turkey hangover and the weight of Christmas shopping bearing down on us. WHO HAS THE BEST DEALS??? WHERE ARE THE BEST PRICES?? FREE SHIPPING!!! ALMOST FREE SHIPPING!!! .......sigh...
anyway I digress. This Thanksgiving is just going to be the four of us in our house. Quiet and just staying home. A first for us. Ever.
Im excited for the parade and the cooking to be honest. I dont usually do anything too fancy. Just the basics.... (and all from scratch)
*Turkey
*mashed potatoes
*sweet potatoes
*green beans (just plain, no casserole..sorry crunchy onion things)
*stuffing..now my brother in law makes this amazing stuffing. My sister jokingly refers to it as the five hour stuffing because in the time it takes him to cut one celery stalk she has made five other dishes... but it is good so I will make that
*cranberry sauce
*creamed onions...yuuummmmmm
*o and of corse GRAVY
Well its ALL yumm to be honest. The night before Thanksgiving my mom and I go to my sisters and make pies for hours. We have done this for a long long time. We will make pumpkin and apple. All homemade crusts. Its so soo good.
This week Im going to try to concentrate on my table. Im going to try to get some new place settings and silverwear. Im thinking cream, white and cranberry for colors. Like for my candles and tableclothes. I would love a garland down the middle of my table. Oh no. looks like I have some shopping to do...Im sure my 4 year old will appreciate my color scheme and attention to detail.... O and the chocolate shop near me sells choc turkeys. That will be a part of the decor too (and dessert!)
