The Weekend Before Thanksgiving

After a couple of weekends of much needed couch potatoing, this was the prep weekend. Hubby was up and out of the house at 6:30AM Saturday for his lodge meeting and I decided to just get up and move along with him. The Saturday activities were a study in ADHD housekeeping. Each task led me to another...a lot got done, but in a strange order.



Sunday? Well Sunday was all about the kitchen.


Step 1. Some stirring broadway music on the CD Player.




Step 2. Sort out the old recipe box.




Hint: In my (I mean Hubby's) kitchen, the recipes with the most wear and the smeared writing are always the best.






Step 3. Gather ingredients. (Yes that is a purple wall in my kitchen - I LOVE IT)







You can tell it's Thanksgiving when you see these ingredients in the pantry.

Step 4. Mix, simmer, bake your ass off.
