We are eating really late this year to accommodate DN and Sparkly. We will eat about seven. She is doing lunch with his family and then doing some Black Friday Christmas shopping (yeah I know) and then coming here.

 That is a great plan!

We have plenty of appetizers. But we're not eating until late. All I have to do tomorrow is put things in the oven to bake. Everything is ready to go. If we have time I might try getting the tree up but if we don't no biggie. I have all kinds of cheeses for DH. And some asparagus wrapped in phyllo dough too. We'll snack for lunch and then eat when she gets here.

We don't do apps.

Breakfast in the morning will be toast and maybe cheesy eggs.

No apps here either. Save our appetites for the main event.

My dad is about to get on my last nerve.

I asked him this past weekend what he needed for tomorrow. He always makes some kind of dessert.

So I tell him, "write down what you want".

He makes a list. We call him to make sure what kind of pie crust he wanted because he didn't specify on the list.

He then says he is going to make 2 pies. So I get double what is on his list.

Now he is griping and complaining that I got too much.

Me "Dad, did you have to go to the store to get anything?"

Him "No."

Me "You're welcome."

Our kids will get up at the crack of dawn and eat a bowl of cereal. By 11 they'll be hungry. We'll break out the apps and snack until a few hours before DN comes over.

Dh is making an appetizer. Bacon wrapped pheasant jalapeno poppers. Other than that I think we just have crackers and cheese.

I really do have a blood curdling scream on my phone that I use at Halloween time.

One day while at the store I was looking at the eggs and a family of three came up beside me just as my phone screamed. The mom and dad about jumped out of their skin but the little kid in the cart laughed his head off.

We don't have any snow equipment in my town. When we do get the rare white stuff other counties send us some vehicles. On nights that we may ice our county works people just go dump sand on the bridges.

Re my eariler "catastrophy" post ~

It takes 6 hours of cold running water to thaw a 13.56 pound bird. I was then able to remobe the neck and giblets bag, and run the water through the inside of the bird. Its in the oven for 5-5 1/2 hours (stuffed).

I used my canning funnel to help put the stuffing in the cavities - keeps it neat.

Hope everyone is having a peaceful, happy, and stress-free day.

Just had a wonderful 2+ mile brisk walk with big dog; my left knee (surgery knee) is hurting and I hate to admit it, but I may have to go back to a stationary bike for exercise.  However, it won't be without a fight - I love my walk!

Dad is getting ready (showering and dressing wears him out but he needs to keep doing it by himself as long as possible and he knows it) and I'm about to get ready myself - then down to my Mom's for a wonderful meal!  Little Honey loves her 'Gram'; there will be teddy bears and dog toys of all size and description lined up by the fireplace in her honor - honestly, it's like doggie Disneyland.  Neither my brother nor I have children, so you can imagine Honey's status at Mom's house, LOL.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful, enjoyable and safe day!  (Notice I've included wine for those of you who would like or need a glass smile)

How much Forced Family Fun do you make your brood endure. We just played a game of Quelf. But, really, most of the time they would rather play the Xbox.  hmm

We're watching the National Dog Show.

Paul is hiding in his room.

We don't force anyone, to watch. Mere and Conor are enjoying it.

Wayne just got talked into another walk. Jupiter has his number, big time!wink

I'm basting the bird, and getting the side dishes ready to go in the oven. (It will be a dance, of space. And, it will work out. It always does.smile)

 Oh do tell, give us the dirt.

 

I am stuffed.  Have a ton of food left of course.  Going out to my mom's tomorrow where a few siblings are still lurking so will bring the yam casserole.  It is yummy!

Food has been cooked, eaten, and leftovers put away. First load is drying in the dishwasher. Can't wait to have it all done!

 Y'all know how picky I am.

There was ham, no turkey.

DS1 asked me if DS2 had told me. Umm, no.

"Mom, don't you like ham?"

What I didn't say: "Son, have you EVER seen me eat ham?"

DH was happy, though.

I actually prefer the deviled eggs cut like that NJN. I think the look of the presentation is better.

I am eating dinner. Some left overs.

Might have enough left for tomorrow but not much.

Had a nice long nap.

We had both turkey and ham.

I had smelled everything cooking all night last night so I wasn't really hungry at lunch. Now I am. Wont eat to the point of miserable though.

 They were good.  We're eating at seven so I've had snacks.  We basically fed the kids appetizers for lunch.  I might take a short nap before DN gets here.

All 7 guests left with doggie bags - some of everything! One couple brought a bottle of rather nice wine - already chilled! Thank you! I just didn't appreciate one couple arriving 15 minutes early! 15 minutes late is OK, but NOT early!

I'm sitting with DH watching the football game, enjoying another glass of wine. Then I'll be ready to tackle the kitchen and the leftovers. Poor Cowboys.
