I tell hubby that we don't have to do a really big thing and not much is planned. We have the few basic traditional items I think. No turkey in sight. We shall improv with mesquite chicken or a turkey burger. I tell him "low key" and he gives me a big smile. He says, "you say that now, but...
The cucina does sometimes go from a mild non active volcano to a Vesuvius. We'll see how things go. I don't eat that much on this day set aside for meals and family and Thankfulness. He agrees that I don't either. I'm not your typical chubby person (another blog), but I do tend to end up cooking way too much. Kind of like superbowl time, when we have 4 friends over and I have a full on feast of tacos, nachos and extra of each type of salsa, enough for both teams to join us.
So I say, okay we have
- 4 potatoes for Mash
- 1 corn on the cob
- lemon bake
- cranberries (the real ones) for sauce/ orange
- buns (only need two)...but have enough to feed the ducks at Bubbling Springs later
- pumpkin stuff
- green beans
- Stuffing/ celery etc
- Succotash (He's from Ohio)
- and 16 cans of gravy. (Yes, I have a problem)
One can never have too much gravy.
