@figmentfan423 , are you cooking yet for today? It's 4:30 AM, and I assumed you'd probably be cooking something or other now. Does your hubs cook the turkey? I vaguely recall you have a smoker--will he use that?

We don't have a smoker, so Friday when I cook our turkey, I just use the oven. It's very easy. I just looked at the label on the turkey and It's only a little over 2 pounds.

Ha cooking was started before then. The ham is on the smoker and a turkey is going in in a bit. It has something to do with the mix of wood. The oven turkey doesn't go in for a while. I've got the gravy simmering for the baked ziti which was added to the list yesterday After today no cooking for a week

You could try putting a stable style door on his bedroom and leaving a pitchfork on his bed and he might get the hint ...

Any tips on keeping my DS from getting mad because we won't let him drink cola during the week, especially right before bedtime?

Rockies, not sure where.

Ah, well the Rockies are home, so I guess that's about right!! I so miss the mountains.

Happy Day, Turkey!! Er...happy Turkey Day! Hope everyone has a great time with family and friends. I'm making the closest thing I can to Thanksgiving, here. But we don't have pumpkin pie and I don't have the energy to make one from scratch today. I have to work tonight, and it's busy enough that they are asking us all to come in early. So...have some pumpkin pie for me.

Swap out cola for Beverly a couple times...

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all and if you're lucky enough to be enjoying time today with friends and family take a moment to say a prayer or just take a moment to remember those of us here are having a rough time this holiday season. xoxo

Well said!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Buy some smaller glasses and reduce the size of the glass and dilute the soda with a bit of club soda gradually going from a few drops to club soda with fruit. Hope this helps.

LOL my boys eat bigger slices than that. I'm pretty sure they're not welcome back at Garden Grill

I got our turkey stuffed in and in the oven by 7am! My creamy mashed potatoes are in the crock pot. And on our way back from taking my brother-in-law to the airport I stopped at a grocery and picked up some caramel rolls to have for breakfast today. The rolls were the best caramel rolls I have had in years, I might be stopping at that grocery store again next time we head up to the Twin Cities, it is on our normal driving route but I never needed to stop there before.
