  • Hibernating

    I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Today, I am relaxing, eating left overs, playing in the yard and staying far away from any retail store. Have a great weekend.

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We started our prep work last night with him brining the turkey and me baking pies. I also shucked fresh peas for the first time. As a l life long hater of peas (I’ve only had the frozen variety), I have to admit they were pretty tasty. Now, I have to get…

  • Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

    Happy Thanksgiving Eve, for me that means baking a pie this afternoon and getting the house ready for guests tomorrow. I am no great cook but I can pull off a pretty good pie and a few appetizers. I like to leave the big ticket items like Turkey to the chef in the family. This…

I wasn’t even disgusted by the image of the meals in bowl (potatoes with a layer of gravy, followed by corn and gravy, and then swirled with chicken).…

  • Turkey Hats!

It’s too bad there is only six more days until Thanksgiving because I think this project is worth trying. You can find…
