You Won't Bee-lieve What Worked for Me
source You know how women older than you would always say "just you wait" referring to menopause? (Heck, perimenopause wasn't even discussed or considered real 20+ years ago!) "Wait for what?" you wondered. Eluding that it was so much more than hot flashes but never telling you what that was. Well I'm here to warn you up and comers what one of those things is...pit stank. That's a big one they don't warn you about with fluctuating hormones in your 30's-50's depending on when perimenopause hits you. They don't tell you how your tried and true deodorant will fail you within hours if you're lucky and will need to be reapplied. Don't even bother with the clinical versions that used to work for you because the hormonal hellscape that has become your body now laughs at them. Natural deodorants you used to use on light loafing around the house days? source Because you still want people in your household to want to sit near y...
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!
