Thanksgiving, just a couple of days late

Today, we will be having our 

Thanksgiving 

get together, with all the children and grandchildren.

I've got the turkey in the oven.  I know that he was supposed to be smoked, but between the cold temps and 

hubby hurting his ankle, which I am sure you know was all my fault, we decided to roast him in the oven, instead.  

I made that decision, 

when I saw that it was either that, 

or raw turkey for dinner.

We are also serving southern cornbread dressing, no not stuffing, dressing.

I'm making 3 pans of rolls, they will be started just in time, to bake and take to the table, still hot from the oven.

And my contribution for dessert,

Lemon Icebox Pie

Though it is in a large glass dish, not pie plates.

Now,

daughters are bringing 

homemade mac and cheese

sweet potatoes

green beans

pumpkin pie

and 

whatever else they feel like cooking.

I'm sure there will be cake of some kind,

and maybe more than one.

We've sampled the dressing, it has passed inspection,

I scraped the bowl when I made the pie, 

and  it passed the taste test.

Thank goodness we aren't eating until about 4:00pm

because all that testing doesn't leave much room for

food right now.

Hope your weekend is wonderful

and 

Safe,

and that if you participated in 

Black Friday,

you got everything you went to get, and

didn't have to yank someone's hair out, to 

get it.

Oh, now I thought of something else.

A few years ago, when they were doing Black Friday

at about 5:00am in the morning, my 'little' son in law

was in Walmart, with his buggy piled high with

items from the sale.

He had his back to his buggy, and was down the isle getting something else.

A

woman decided to help herself to

an item in his buggy.

When he turned around and looked at her, she

reached and put the item back into his buggy,

and walked away.

You see, my 'little' son in law

is 6ft 7 inches and at that time a good 260 pounds.

Guess she didn't want to arm wrestle him over that

bread maker.
