I'm leaving on a jet plane.. sounds like a song! So I wanted to wish everyone an early Happy Thanksgiving and traveling mercies if you're on the go.

I have no big dead bird on my counter this year but I know that some of you do. Cool Angel wonders why the wonder thread is so long....maybe someone will start a new one.

Have fun, be safe, stay strong and remember ....you aren't alone!

Alffe..

Have a great trip, enjoy yourself to the full






David

This afternoon my plate is full of preparing stuff to fill plates --- well, the sides of plates.
I'll make the family jello salad and the cole slaw minus the dressings .... yes, the dressings .... we require two kinds which I'll make today but won't add them to the cabbage & other stuff until tomorrow morning.
I'll do the relish tray.... hope I've remembered everything.
At 4:30 AM tomorrow I'll put a turkey breast in the oven to take along with the other stuff to the dinner at noon.

Any suggestions??

Wishing great joy -- wishing good food --

DID SOMEONE SAY FOOD?


Your making me very hungry Wren..

I hope your Eating festival [ L.O.L.] Is a good one every body.

In honour of you YANKS I bought the biggest bag of spare ribs i could find, which are currently marrinating in my fridge for Saturday... I intend to have my own thanksgiving food fest.... [The turkey is sacred and will have to wait until XMAS DAY, but i'm working that day for the first time in 14 years, and i'm not cooking it Man thing.....urgh.... ignore me.....]


Alfe... # i'm leaving on a jet plane# .......#when will you be back again'#
L.O.L..........SAFE JOURNEY HOME.


David

Just think ............
It's now time to really start thinking about CHRISTMAS. Today's the 24th .... Isn't that just 30 days until Christmas Eve?
Is Christmas Eve a big deal in your home?

I wish I had some of David's spare ribs for dinner ......
How are you cooking those? I love BBQ spare ribs. I love spare ribs cooked on sauer kraut in the oven.

Wren

BBQ Sauce.............yum.yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



David

maybe try bbq sauce on the salad? just don't grill it.

i'm still in a grumpy mood. maybe we should start up the ticked off thread again. lol....wren can be ticked at david for not sharing his bbq.

i plan on staying ticked at hubby. yeah right...it takes daily meetings with some chick at the club for her to become a certified trainer. for 3 months. it takes 0. we don't certify trainers. what a jerk. i need to kick him to the curb.

Where to begin! *grin We had the best time at Bizi's...I absolutly, positively have to have a turducken in my freezer! And will order one as soon as she sends me the address (hint, hint)

So glad we went early and beat the airport delays, and traffic jams. I know that some of you didn't believe me when I told you that they have drive thu daquiri places in Louisiana....will you believe this??? Bear crossing signs on the busy highway! BEAR crossing signs, like our deer crossing signs with the silouette of a deer....these are BEAR crossing signs. I took pictures to prove it and will send to Curious to post for me. (pssst Curious...I have an old fashioned camera that needs to get film developed so it may be a while)

It's hard to believe that yesterday I was sitting in the french market in No.Orleans having hot chocolete and beginet's, listening to jazz in the street..and came home late last night to scaping snow off my car and having the bluejays screaming at me this morning cause the feeders are empty.

But we are safe and sound...grateful for the time with loved ones!

I missed you all and have a lot of reading to do here.

But saying hello to Alf kinda warms the heart, huh? I'm glad to hear you had such a good time.

And I'm glad that wonderful Curious had been posting here

Nothing is on my plate today ...... I'm planning an easy dinner. Hopefully I can find something easy in the freezer.

Tomorrow will be difficult. I have to be in that neuropsych's office deep in the city at 8:30 AM ready for 4 1/2 hours of non-stop testing that I take way too seriously and make too much of .... they have told me that.
They know it's not easy -- they instruct you to eat a "large, hearty breakfast and bring a snack" ....... as if that would help.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh poor me. I'd appreciate a prayer
