I'm making some butterhorn rolls for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. My back's holding up pretty good so far, but the dough's still rising. The real test will be when I have to roll it out and roll it up....into crescents, that is.

And a few days ago I made my mom's soft gingerbread cookie dough. It's been mellowing (per instructions). Man, it smells SO good. I'll cut them out, bake them, and then ice them in the morning, and that will be a lot more challenging for my back than the bread, but Michelle will be home to help if it gets really bad.

Hope everyone to whom it applies has a pleasant Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you 😊
 

So far I've got a new picture hung in the top hallway.. I miscalculated the space by about 2 mm's only and hammered in the picture hooks into the concrete wall ( one both sides of the frame).. once they're in trying to get them out is impossible with leaving damage to the wall.. so I had to remeasure .. and hammer another one in.. I forgot the old adage. ''measure twice cut once''.. anyway, it's hung now, and looking good.. (y)

Got the washing machine on.. that's nearly done, then it'll go into the dryer.. and

pretty windy and overcast here today... the gardens are damp because of the eternal rain we've been having this last few weeks... ..

Just had a delivery of a large new chrome picture frame which I'm going to mount a big picture in .. The postmen are on strike again.. that's 3 times already this year.. and again tomorrow and the beginning of December.. ..but fortunately we now have internet shopping deliveries from so many courier companies , so their strikes make much less of an impact to what they once did..
 
Crisis averted. New pie in the oven. Turkey roasting as we speak, too. Everything else is done.

Holy smokes! It was early when I went to Kroger, and the store was positively packed with no room in the parking lot. Reckon all those folks were still planning to cook dinner today?

Talked to niece last night, and her follow-up appointments with ophthalmologist and neurosurgeon were all good. No cancer. Surgery for the other eye is probably in early February. If she has no further problem, she can go back to work in three weeks and work until second surgery.

We were talking about making T'Day dinner and agreed that our least favorite thing is peeling mountains of potatoes. I told her about frozen steam-and-mash potatoes and she started making a list! Told her that I always make mine with sour cream, cream cheese, butter and an envelope of ranch dressing mix but no milk. She made new list and told Bro to run out and warm up the truck because they were going to Walmart before it closed!

She said she'd always wondered what it was about my mashed potatoes that made them so good and so...different. After dinner today, she'll never make them any other way:)

It was very warm here this morning, 50F again, but won't get much warmer all day.

So now I get to rest until the bird🦃 is done. Yay.

Y'all have a great holiday! For those of you who don't live in the US, pretend:D

Enjoy your meal!
 
I don't need to eat again until at least a week from next Wednesday.

So as not to hurt any feelings, I ate a piece of the peanut butter pie that DD made and a piece of the apple pie that DGD made. Of course, I also ate a piece of the pumpkin pie that I made.

@Blessed Jammies! That's it! I need to put on my jammies (because the waist is elastic).

I don't have on the pants, just the top, socks, robe and house shoes. It is not that cold here today. YES, elastic is one of my favorite inventions!!
 
My Thanksgiving dinner is certainly non-traditional. I made a chocolate cake yesterday. A big potato is baking in the oven and a t-bone steak has been seasoned and is marinating in preparation for a hot grill. I will put together a green salad also. Until time to cook I’m just watching some tv and looking over some black Friday ads. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
