It's when? *THIS* Thursday?!

[grizzlyzone]

I made it to the grocery store today to get my supplies for Thanksgiving. Thawing turkey carcass breast (minus wings and legs) Spiral-sliced ham for Woody (who REFUSES to eat any kind of fowl). Pepperidge Farm Sage and Onion Stuffing Instant mashed potatoes Canned green beans No. We aren't doing any form of sweet potato, with or without miniature marshmallow. I may take a can of pumpkin pie filling and whip that into a crustless reduced-sugar pumpkin custard casserole.

I think I'm gonna pass on the ubiquitous green bean - cream of mushroom soup - fried onion ring casserole and may just go with kitchen aliced green beans and slivered almonds. Leftover gb-coms-ffor casserole always looked a bit gross afterwards.

No crescent rolls. But, there WILL be cranberries! And, I'm going to try make my annual attempt at screwing up replicating Mom's celery-onion-sage stuffing. (It's amazing how badly you can screw up something that really doesn't have a recipe.)

One little thing. I work Thursday meaning I sleep during the day. And, as I work Wednesday this week, I'll be sleeping during the day then, too.

So, Tuesday, Tuesday it is!

I know what you mean...When I worked shift at the power plant I always seemed to get holiday duty. I think we had T-Day on Fridays for about 3 years in a row. The only thing I missed was the football games.

If you want to make something quick with pumpkin that doesn't involve sugar, try Rachel Ray's pumpkin soup. I made some today just to see if it was worthy of offering to our guests on Thursday, and Tommy said it was some of the best soup he's had. The kids even liked it... :-)

This would have been one of the times it would have been good to have Dominic handy. He wasn't opposed to trying something like pumpkin soup, and would always give something new a complimentary review.

As it is, I'm going to have way too much stuff for two people, and while the chance of getting Woody to eat pumpkin pie served as a side dish would be slim, the chance of getting Woody to eat pumpkin soup would have been slimmer.
