sung to the tune of happy birthday.

Gobble Gobble to you.
Gobble Gobble to you.
Gobble Gobble and eat some stuffing.
Gobble Gobble to you.

Beat that Mozart.

Let's be thankful we have large stomachs.

So far things are going as planned. (knock on wood)

For Our Thanksgiving menu we are having Turkey with Stuffing. Andrew is making roasted potatoes, we are also having sweet potatoes, brussell sprouts (raw carrots for Andrew), cranberry sauce, rolls, and the world famous jello salad.

Along with that we shall have olives, bread and butter pickles and pickled herring.

I admit pickled herring is an acquired taste but we love it in our family. I told Andrew he didn't have to try it.

For dessert we shall keep it simple. Lemon Meringue Pie, Pumpkin Pie and my sister Kit is bringing brownies.
I suspect the brownies will taste great with the pumpkin ice cream.

We hope to come out of our coma three days from now.

In happy happy news one of the local PBS stations is showing "Meet Me in Saint Louis". Can we say Miss Gennie is a happy girl?
*dances around the room for awhile and then checks on the turkey*

tired broad.

The day dawned, I cooked with all of my heart. Mr. Jenner made his incredibly sexy potatoes (no really, they are that sexy) and then my hilarious family arrived.
They are a fun bunch. We ate way too much food. Everyone ate a ton of pie and then I surprised them with a cheese course. The Martha Stewart in me just shined through. A pretty plate with three cheeses, crackers, some dates, dried apricots and satsumas. It was a bit over the top. Everyone seemed quite....full. I could have checked them for loose change and jewelry and made a tidy little profit.

My sister brought over some tasty brownies as well. They went well with the lemon sorbet.

Yeah we have too much food. Maybe I will invite people over to help get rid of the food.
Who wants to eat turkey sandwiches, rich cheeses and lot's of desserts?
That is what I thought.

After dinner we told awful stories about one another. Did impressions of people we don't like and bad comedians.

"What's the deal with airlines?" "What's the deal with cocktail parties?"

It was classic good fun.

Oh yeah pictures were taken. Soon you may see actual proof of my cooking.
