Thanksgiving Getting to know you

I know many of us are busy this time of year and might not have the time to do this, but its important for us to take the time for "US" to eat right, (cause we will be sick and ruin the day or be sorry later when the scale shows us who's the boss)  so let us all be thankful and see what our friends are Thankful for:

1.  Where are you going for Thanksgiving?  No where, we are staying here, watching the parade w/MLM.  DD and DSIL and GD are coming over on Friday.  they are celebrating TG with his family on Thursday and don't want turkey 2 days in a row, so we have a ham on Friday. (MUch easier to cook, less work) Son is going to MA with DGF and they heading down to FOxwoods for a few days.

4.  Are you making a healthy  dish/desert and what? I'm making a desert I found in magazine and the crust is made with crushed Oreo's and i'm using the rf ones and the cool whip i'm using RF too.  so not too big of a change, just a little better.  its got fresh strawberries on it and much better then pie.   that is all I am making for desert.
