Sun 24 Nov

It is just starting to sink in that Thanksgiving is this week. I need to start making lists for preparations that need to be done in advance, e.g. making sure the turkey is thawed, making sure I have all the ingredients I need. I don't think I have a vegetable dish planned or ingredients bought yet. I found a recipe today for sweet potato biscuits that would be an awesome alternative to dinner rolls if I can get time/energy to make a batch in advance. I will certainly do a cranberry pudding pie, but if the Costco pumpkin pie sitting unopened on the shelf outside the back door is still good, I may just take some of that to Grandma's as an adjunct for dessert and skip making a second pie which we don't need and often doesn't get finished. I have a turkey and stuffing mix and sweet potatoes, so the essentials are on hand. Planned to visit Grandma between the Packer game and 4 pm choir, but overtime for the game sort of changed that plan. Visited her around 6:45 and she was already in bed, but not asleep so we were able to visit. She was right on herself tonight so we had a nice visit.
