“Some of the best parts of cooking Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners is choosing all your own favorites, and eating as you prep. hehehehe”
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?
I should come to your house. No, I am not having the shindig. My niece’s MIL is hostess and it will be more low-key than our gatherings of before. She is getting a ham. I am doing some broccoli and a turkey. Others are doing their thing. I will be going with Dad to dinner at a restaurant prior and will arrive to the fam late.
That all sounds uber delicious! Now I wish it was Thanksgiving up here again. I supposed I could give thanks again....one can never overdue that! Hmmmmm. We have lots of very large roasting chickens in the freezer. I’m going to have to think about this. I will not, however, have that delightful assortment of desserts that you’ve made! Sounds good!
You’ve been busy! Sounds great! Take pix for us okay?
I’d like to see your recipe for almond cream puffs
Sounds like you’re having fun cooking up a fiest and having friends over!
