What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
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!
