I hope you’re having as relaxing a holiday as I am.
I wasn’t going to cook this year, just help.
So far I’ve made the mashed potatoes and the cranberry sauce (because I won’t eat the stuff out the can that he loves).
He’s in charge of the turkey, and everything else is pretty much done, except for rolls and gravy, so yeah, not too bad this year. Of course I’ll get stuck cleaning it all up, but that’s okay. It’s Thanksgiving, so I’m thankful that I have a feast to enjoy and someone who loves me to enjoy it with. I wish the same for all of you.
Just in case you need to lighten things up a bit this holiday. I’m a big fan of the Holderness Family and their videos. I hope your celebration is pleasant and full of family and friends.
Do you get them too? The articles like “834 Steps to a Simpler Life,” and “93 Items to Keep in Your Sock Drawer?” Well the other day my sweetheart forwarded me one called “50 Foods to Avoid This Holiday Season,” or something equally preachy. His attached note said, “guess we’ll be having toast.” Oh HELL no. Not on my watch.
First, let me address some of the items that were actually on their list. These are items that WILL pass my lips this holiday season, in varying amounts and at various times. Does it make me a glutton? According to the folks who assembled that excuse for an article it might, but really, I don’t care.
mashed potatoes – with butter
gravy – on the mashed potatoes and turkey
turkey (dark meat with skin) – I prefer white meat, but there will be some skin
eggnog – I can’t help it, it’s just good (in small doses)
cinnamon rolls – what else would you have Christmas morning?
pot roast – this isn’t really even a holiday thing, is it? But now I want it.
These additional items may or may not be on their list. I got a little lightheaded while I was reading it. They are, however, on my “Gonna have it” list.
So now you have a real list from a real person about a real holiday season. Well, except for maybe the pot roast, but a pot roast is good any time of year. Happy celebrating.
