Twas the night before the monday before Thanksgiving...

and all thru the house not a turkey was stirring...not even a ...? cant find a witty to way to end it. Anyway I have called to order an emergency meeting for my sister and I tomorrow after Shane is done with school. I feel totally disorganized but certainly not panicked as I work well under pressure it seems. O and its going to be just me and Chris and my kids. No one to really impress there, but I do still want to make an amazing meal. So Im going to go to my sisters tomorrow to talk out all the ingredients I need. Nothing major just double checking that I will have everything on my list. I may add another vegetable dish like this apple squash bake I just found. I want to make cream of pumpkin soup but I think Im going to wait until my dad comes on Saturday until I make that but I havent totally decided on that yet. I must admit I was at Shop Rite yesterday in total amusement over the people desperately filling their carts with Thanksgiving Day supplies... the store was filled with shouts of "wheres the fat-free gravy?" people on cell phones exclaiming... " I cant find sodium free chicken broth... will heart healthy do???" packages of stuffing and cans of cranberry sauce overflowed. People huddled by the turkey section claiming their FREE frozen turkey...how would you EVER know if it was defrosted and are we willing to take that chance on the big day???? way to risky for a no-risk taker such as myself. The sheer panic and stress over gravy and potatoes is entertaining if nothing else. I sat back and double checked my coupons as people fought it out over the last few remaining jars of fat free gravy (I shutter at the thought I must admit) Promise to have much more interesting blogging this week. Enjoy your turkey day prep week!!!!
