This Thanksgiving will be a first for me…I’ll be in charge of the Thanksgiving meal on Brian’s side of the family. Due to Nona having surgery and the complications after surgery, I have offered to take charge. On Brian’s side of the family, we get together on Thanksgiving day for lunch. Normally its us, Dennis, Nona, Grandmother, Meri Jo, Ricky, and Lyne; sometimes Ed too. This year I had a feeling Krista, Michael, and Anne Klaire would be there as well. It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a mere 3 weeks away from tomorrow! Of course I have already planned the menu and delegated (Krista and Meri Jo are helping out with cooking) who will be making what.
I’m hoping that the turkey Brian gets (Sysco always gives the employees turkeys for Thanksgiving) will not be frozen with a saline solution so I can try out the turkey brine from Pioneer Woman. I’m excited about trying my hand a cooking a turkey, but nervous at the same time. The dressing will be easy since I have helped Dad out each year making it. I just hope Brian’s family likes my recipes! ;) This year will be interesting to say the least! I am thankful that I have had years of helping out Mom and watching my Grandmother cook. I can’t wait to make her pecan pie! We always fought over the last piece.
The holiday season is getting underway and I couldn’t be more excited about it! Just a few short weeks till I can decorate for Christmas!!
