Tryptophan overload…




















I made a Thanksgiving meal for the family today. A couple of years ago the mom-in-law made Manicotti for the Thursday holiday meal and the hubby complained for months that he didn’t get turkey. (remember this was his mom)

So now I, make sure we have a mini-holiday for Thanksgiving and Christmas before the actual event. That way, no matter what (or how good – the big baby) our Holiday meal is, the man is ensured his faves. (the things we wives put up with!)

I made:
    - Turkey and dressing
    - Gravy – it was from a can – no one but me likes it so I am not gonna take the time to make the real stuff.
    - Ham – for the kid who doesn’t like turkey
    - French’s Green-bean casserole
    - Mashed sweet potatoes w/ Marshmallows (sorry Cece – we love ‘em!)
    - Both kinds of cranberry sauce – everyone loves both!
    - Homemade bread = just plain white, they don’t like too much variety everywhere
    - Pumpkin pie
    - Cherry topped cheesecake

Hungry yet?!?!?!?!?!?


On the story – They found a dead body – OH MY! Who just so happens to belong to the new ghost, though the original ghost is the only one who has seen her. The heroine wants to move out, but has learned if she does, then the estate goes up for auction to the public so the greedy developers can scoop it up from her. Whatever will she do?

Bet you wish you could read the entire novel. Someday!

I cheated on the dressing, too, shh don't tell. The kids don't like it so I hate to make my grandmother's long recipe though it is super!

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Nano on!
