What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Yes, I gave in and got the Thanksgiving pizza with a couple of other people. It was so good even though I only had one piece. It's very filling.

I started handing out the $50 holiday GC to employees who will not be here the rest of the week, and they were all grateful. They know to come back Friday afternoon to get their turkey.

If I had been 2 minutes sooner on the highway this morning, I think it would have been me that hit the deer instead of the van. I noticed something in the left lane and as I went by realized it was a bumper, then about 50ft up the road was a white van on the shoulder. There was front fender damage, and the bumper was obviously off. This time of year is crazy with deer and rut season.

QOTD: What's a childhood memory you have of Thanksgiving? Mine would have to be when one of my uncles specifically Uncle Dick would come to the farm at like 4am with a huge fruit basket for us and then proceed to sit and help his sister get stuff ready for dinner. My mom would make a 25plus pound turkey back then and those did not fit in an oven bag. He would peel potatoes, butternut squash, boiling onions, turnip all the while my mom was getting the stuffing ready for the bird. He was a great guy and always around to help his little sister. My mom is the youngest of 6 and only has one brother left alive.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: my last piece of pizza

D: porkchops and mushrooms

Have a great day everyone.

Good mornin everyone.

Busy day ahead here. My mom has a doctors appointment and we have to go grocery shopping. Also to pick up a prescription.

We had our Tange spayed yesterday. She's doing well and running around. She doesn't seem to need to come which she wouldn't let stay on anyway. We hate having to put her through it but we know it's for the best.

QOTD: my favorite is helping my grandpa with frying his okra, smoking the turkey...and helping my grandma with the dressing. I miss being a family. After they passed we went from a huge family to a family of just my mom, us and my aunt Sandra and her kids. It was sad. I don't miss certain people per se but I miss the community feeling in a way. Now I do the turkey and most of the cooking. My aunt Sandra doesn't come to our get together either. We are doing air fryer okra this year but it's a must. Makes me thing instantly of my grandpa. I miss him so so much.

B: eggs, cheese and coffee

L: probably Thai food

D: leftover Thai food.

have a wonderful day y'all.

That should have said the cone. My typing is atrocious.

My cat called it the cone of death. He got stuck in a corner and couldn't figure out how to get out.

Poor Tange. I always kept the cone on a few days because they can tear their stitches out. She should be ok soon.

They used glue to close the outer skin. She is not keeping it on so there isn't much we can do.

it sucks to see them in pain and you can't do anything about it!

Thanksgiving pizza has to be interesting. I am a fan of pizza with red sauce, ham and pineapple. Something no Italian would approve of.

Thanksgiving morning memories are tearing up bread for stuffing, frying celery and onions, putting the stuffing in the turkey, watching the cranberries pop.

The Thanksgiving parade with the wonderful floats, all the pies with real whipped cream. It was definitely the food holiday. We were Catholic and could not have Turkey on Friday. It was so tempting to cheat.

The week following we had turkey dishes every day until it was gone.

I will make turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce and eat it until I am tired off it.

I love traditions.

Good morning, everyone!

I'm checked out and waiting to head to the airport. My flight is at 1:00, so I'm on the 10:30 shuttle. I should get home around 4:30. All in all a pretty easy day.

I will go into the office tomorrow and Friday and swim Friday morning. Marilyn reminded me that we have tickets to A Christmas Carol for Saturday night. That should be fun going into Chicago.

Marilyn found a dress for our work Christmas party in a couple of weeks. I think it looks very nice. I asked her if she found shoes and she hadn't. Since the last ones went in the trash, she better get looking.

QOTD: In Massachusetts, the high school football teams play on Thanksgiving Day. So Thanksgiving Day 1983 was my last football game.

Breakfast: Ham and Eggs

Lunch : Something at the airport

Dinner: cheese and charcuterie

Have a great day, all!

Good morning Jen and Menuers,

I am so grateful you stepped up and our starting the thread. So sweet of you. I can see why that pizza was a choice of yours. It looks delicious. We have a place called The Get Go. It is part of the Giant Eagle line of grocery stores, and you can get gas and is a convivence store. It has a made to order section where you can order salad drinks and subs. This time of year, they have the Pilgrim, and it is very popular. The hoagie bun is made to taste like stuffing and they put any fixins in you want. I think it comes with Turkey potatoes gravy and cranberry and cheese if I am not mistaken. I had it once pre surgery and it was ok. I really want to try another, but I have refrained for the last 6 years I am going to try to ignore it again this year. I went shopping yesterday afternoon and found a dress that is right up my alley. I apologize for posting pictures mid-week but I want you to see if and let me know your thoughts. Ron is not a fan BTW. I could not wait to put it on and wear it to work.

QOTD: I remember one year having older cousins in from out of town and I woke up so hung over from partying the night before that I went outside in my PJ's and laid face down in the snow to do a snow angel to get relief from my throbbing head and my parents were not too happy.

Accountability: Just some more Kettle corn.
