Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
Thanksgiving for me must include turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. Anything else in addition to those 3 is great, but I have never had a single Thanksgiving go by without those 3 must haves and it would not be Thanksgiving without them for me.
ReplyDeleteMy kids need to have my stuffing so I take it if celebrating away from home.
ReplyDeleteNo one else likes green bean casserole. Mom and dad would be fine with sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, but that's not ok.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's making the stuffing with sauteed onions and celery. I also make a box of either cranberry bread (cranberry/orange if I can find it but that's very hard to find nowadays), pumpkin, or banana bread. I used to make all three and split them up for my mom in slices so she could freeze them and take them out as she liked. Have done that since I was a teenager, and I just stuck to that tradition. =o)
ReplyDeleteTurkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. And it must be the turkey/stuffing recipe we've used for 4-5 generations.
ReplyDeleteIf the only thing served were a pan of cornbread dressing made using my grandmother's recipe, both my mom and I would be just fine!
ReplyDeleteMany years ago I asked everyone what they wanted for Tgiving dinner and I only cooked that. Cranberries and stuffing (for example) were not on anyone’s list. I stopped making them.
ReplyDeleteThis year my youngest (21) is in charge of polling.
And I told her to tell everyone, if it is not on the list, do not assume I am making it, including a turkey.
So far the list has eggplant Parmesan, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, pie.
Sweet potato casserole!
