This year I am doing all the cooking and have a small gathering of family for dinner on Thanksgiving. We sometimes get the whole fan-dam-ily together, but this year many of the brothers and sisters made plans to be elsewhere. So I am hosting for the ones in the area. No matter if the crowd is large or small, it will be a nice day for loved ones to share a feast. And if I am cooking they know it will be delicious.
Excited
I love holidays and getting together with the family. I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year and cannot wait for the day to arrive. There are a few things I can get done and out of the way early, but the rest will begin on the morning of. I hope that everyone shows up, as I know that many of them have more than one place to stop at in their travels.
I prefer to stay at home anyway, so cooking doesn’t bother me at all. Plus, I have the added bonus of not having to really cook for days afterwards because there are so many left overs. There is nothing better than turkey sandwiches and such. I think I will start on a couple of the pies tomorrow. That will keep me busy anyway, what with all the cleaning I have to do. Time to get all of the laundry done today, so I won’t have to mess with it later. Have a great day!
Tired from Cooking
Wow – I’ve been on my feet since 8 o’clock this morning cooking all kinds of food for Thanksgiving dinner and I’m really tired. I needed to take a 20 minute break and get off my feet, check emails, and throw the ball for my poor neglected dogs. The dogs are very happy to have me in the kitchen – they get lots of scraps and anything I drop on the floor is cleaned up immediately by at least one grateful dog.
We’ll have dinner at 8:00 tonight and I’m already hungry. It will just be six of us at the table, but that’s plenty! Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and eats lots of good food today.
