What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
Can't go wrong with any of those dishes for the big day! I can vouch for that and am thankful that I get to try 'em all! Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I love it. I have not yet created my menu although tomorrow I'm going to someones house so it's not that pressing. I still make myself a turkey breast and a couple of sides to eat for the week after. Such yummy stuff.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one!
My hubby doesn't like turkey any way you cook it, so, we are having chicken cordon easy, skinny mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, peas and pumpkin, apple or pecan pie. Then we're off Friday morning on our annual get away and boy, do we need it!!!! WWWWooooooohhoooooooo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the round up! I'm not cooking tomorrow, but I've got guests coming on Monday and would have been searching through recent blogs for some of these. I appreciate your making it easy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThat Pumpkin Gingerbread Loaf is calling my name! I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin gingerbread loaf sounds good to me too, but I'm thinking of that closer to Christmas. Maybe something to take in and share at work.
ReplyDeleteStill, tomorrow's menu is a page from your playbook
Turkey & gravy (done by hubby, I don't know what goes into it, and I don't want to)
Mashed potatoes - done with chicken broth
Stuffing - your recipe
Sweet figgy potatoes - from a couple weeks back
broccoli and carrots
Brussels sprouts ala Mrs. if I can find fresh ones today
pumpkin pie - from my mom
if I get ambitious I'm also going to make those gingersnap crust pumpkin things you posted last year, and a couple batches of cookies from last years 12 days of treats.
Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
I tend to stay classic for my menu - sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey. Although this year we are grilling the turkey on the Weber, and I am making a cranberry/apple jam as a side.
ReplyDeleteI am actually looking forward to leftovers!
Happy Thanksgiving!
