I had to laugh at Marda's comments about left-overs. I think she cooked more per capita than I did, but I still wonder what was I thinking? I had planned for six, as I didn't expect my grandchildren to be here.....but my now-sixteen yo Grandson is an official driver now, so even though they spent the early meal with their other Grandparents, they surprised me and spent the supper meal with us. So, I had eight. I roasted TWO turkeys. LOL. The first one is gone as I packed what little was left with the kids, and the second one is wrapped in foil, still pristine and in all its glory. The fridge is jammed packed with left-overs, and I ran out of room. I had a sea of gravy, and I looked at the temps and figured that the kettle of it would be just fine on the front seat of my jeep with the windows rolled up to keep the racoons out. The only glitch in the situation is that my husband doesn't really like turkey. I have quite a few plastic freezer containers, and I think I'll slice the turkey down and pack up a gazillion containers with turkey and gravy for open-faced sandwiches for the next year. LOL. I thought about Janis because I almost had a disaster. I had one pie shell filled with the pumpkin and remembered I hadn't added sugar to it. I had to pour it out and add sugar and pour it back in. Whew. It isn't the first time I've done that, and I know from experience, it's nasty that way.

MY DH is working (he works most holidays) so I am alone (21 year old son is hiding out in his room & going to my ex-mother-in-law's). DH will be picking up my stepdaughter on his way home & won't be back until dinnertime tomorrow. We are having our Thanksgiving then. Today I am just cleaning & cooking the pumpkin pies & homemade bread & noodles. Linda

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, also. And to all our friends here at the KT! Tami

Belated Thanksgiving wishes to all. I hope you all had a great day with friends and family. I'm dealing with some personal health issues, so not as active on the list as I have been in the past. Everyone have a great Christmas and holiday season! I've not bought a single bulb this season...if that says anything... Kristi
