It’s Turkey Day!!!!  My favorite day of the year! I know you are wondering why I am here blogging on such a special day. Well for starters I am sick, so I came up here to have a cough drop and check my email. For second, we don’t do our Dinner at noon, we do it in the evening. I figured out a long time ago that it was a lot less stress doing it that way.

Turkey will go in about 1PM. I will start making pies later this morning. Actually I bought the pecan pie. Shame on me I know. But I am sick remember? The Jr Mint pie will have all day to sit and get yummy! And the bread will be hot and fresh out of the oven!

Ohhhh! How I love Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!

Seems its that time of year. I have had several emails asking what is on my Thanksgiving menu and a recipe or two.

Should I share my Jr Mint Pie recipe too? Leave a comment and maybe I will

This morning I got a great email and URL to the inside of peoples fridges.

How much can you tell from a person by looking at and in their fridge?

So here it is. First let’s look at the outside.

You can tell I have kids with dirty little fingers huh?

Now for the inside. OK be warned, it is 4 days before Thanksgiving ….

Running a bit low on coffee there.

If anyone else is crazy enough to post pictures of their fridge, let me know!!!
