Who Moved Thanksgiving to next Thursday

Oh, it was FDR. I guess I should have realized that the Christmas tree lots were being set up. That should have been the clue.

So the list is made for the food. Not to be purchased until Sunday. I must resist the urge to cook brussel sprouts. Most people just hate them. What can I say. I think they are a staple but then I am not the most normal person in the world.

I am having the moment of panic. Furniture needs to be re-arranged. There is lots of dish finding that needs to happen. The basement was torn up last week and I need to get some carpets down on the floor so the kids will have a place to play...... Panic, Panic, Panic.

The other really really bad thing is I can not remember where I saw purple mershino cherries for the ever famous Jello salad. Oh, well... maybe next year.

Love Brussel sprouts. Found a recipe for roasting them with just seasoned salt, will try it and let you know. Had some roasted cauliflower recently and surprisingly it was very good. And a word from your elder here, let a few things slip. It's okay and others will move to fill the gap. If they don't it means the missing piece was not missed after all . . . at least not this year.
