Ahyezzz...but yesterday was a good day. Homemade turkey, mashed potatoes, pie and whipped cream. It has been years since I made any of them...no one to cook for. LOL!
We were not planning on making anything for yesterday except some cranberry sauce (Everybody loves Mrs. Liberty’s cranberries!). We were going over to my folks’ house where Mom was planning on doing the majority of the cooking. Then, my mom got sick over the last weekend, wasn’t in the mood for visitors, and had to cancel. Well, we weren’t going to let them go without, so we rustled up the stuff to make *two* dinners (One for them, the other for us). We went from no work to double work, but we were happy to do it for our parents.
It wasn’t perfect: We discovered their rolls were still in the oven when we got back from the Meals on Wheels delivery. But we had done another Meals on Wheels Tuesday, and we did not forget anything for the chicken & dumplings dinner that night. Mom was having appetite troubles, so we jump-started her with her favorite dish.
Mrs. Liberty cleaned the kitchen up last night so I just have some minor clean-up details to do around the house in preparation for the housekeepers’ regular Saturday visit tomorrow. All the extra work yesterday did not kill either of us, even though we’ve both been in a lot of pain in recent weeks (I still hurt from the surgery last month).
We never leave the house on “Black Friday” (we stopped exchanging Christmas gifts years ago) so life is very good this morning, especially now that we’ve had our morning dose of Tax-Chick’s kittehs. We are both feeling pretty good today. Well, I will as soon as I pop a pain pill. We may venture out this weekend to deliver a batch of Goulash we whipped up the other day.
I have no family, save for a brother in Toronto. I ate at my ministers house : )
