We went to niece Jenny's new home Saturday for the combined family Thanksgiving. I did 4 sides and Karen baked rolls (always in demand...she is a really fine breadmaker) plus we had deep fried turkey and a nice ham as well. My orange-pecan-cranberry dressing was a big hit and my corn casserole came out almost like spoonbread and also disappeared quickly. It was a great day.....very warm......pretty perfect overall.

Today it is just Karen and I plus Tris. Mike is with his girlfriend Morgan and her family today but they don't have a "traditional" meal and believe it or not, THAT is what he wants tomorrow for his birthday! So I'm making a the usual turkey (but just a breast) dressing, taters, green bean cass, corn cass, etc......and he wants Mom's rolls of course. I cannot tell you how far he has come and how well he is doing........19 tomorrow.

So today we're having Filet Mignon and lobster tails on the grill with twice baked potatoes and a salad. Had kreppels (scrapple) for breakfast so this is MY kind of day!

To all of you......Bite the Bird!
