Have you been watching me?

I’ve started with desserts. Almond cream puffs and little baby pumpkin pie, apple pie, and a lemon pie because that’s my favorite. I think it’s unfair that we only get to pick one dessert because they are too big, so I made tiny ones so people can have one of each. I’m considering giving a nod to pumpkin, although it’s not something I like.

Portuguese sweet rolls and cottage cheese whole wheat rolls are rising. I’m thinking about making pretzel rolls but that might be overkill. Yeah that’s probably way too many.

I did cut up some bread to get it stale for the stuffing. I don’t really care about the main dishes but they’ll be okay, I got a Butterball and 10 lb of russet potatoes. I do enjoy turkey sandwiches the next day!

Just having some friends over, once I’ve had for the last couple Thanksgiving plus a new couple from california. They might be liberals but I decided to give them benefit of the doubt. They are bringing some Nigerian students with them, so that should be very interesting.

Are you having a family shindig?
