Thanksgiving is coming...the goose is getting fat...oh, wait..wrong holiday!! It is the people who will be getting fat!!! In my article for TVQG newsletter I gave out a couple of websites...it is really my article from the library but I usually try to add a few other things for interest...after all there is only so much you can say about books. But..I digress...the websites were one for Paula Deen's Southern Cooking and the other was for Weightwatchers!! How mean is that!!
I started the big cooking thing today...have the cranberry sauce done, the meat for the dip (snacking after the game) done, the cake baked...I am making an orange cake like my mom used to make. It is my favorite and one of my daughter's had tried to get the recipe to make one for my birthday....her daddy looked virtually every where and could not find it! He finally asked me about it and I had to say it is not written down...just in the head!! So I told my daughter I would make one for Thanksgiving as it is a big cake and would write down everything as I did it....that means I will be expecting an orange cake every year from now on!!!!
I have the table clothes washed and ironed....I am looking for serving dishes that I haven't seen since last year. Then tomorrow is continued cooking...the pecan pie, the pumpkin pie, the jellos...red and green...the giblets...will set one of the tables...the other on Thursday morning.
We have such a great time with all the family and the extended family. My son-in-law says this is his favorite meal of the year...he wants my daughter to take note so the feast can continue when I decide to give up the honor!! So it is food, football, and fun (games).
