So.....what time should I be there? My sister is doing ours this year and I can guarantee there won’t be key lime pie and cheesecake.
My DDIL is making the carrot cake and key lime pie
Where my son works they own a bakery
They supply all the casinos and chain restaurants with their cheesecakes
Ours will be one of the unsalable cheesecakes
Nothing wrong with it just not perfect enough for sale
Dinner will be 5ish
Bring your appetite
I'm hosting 12 and will take on the majority of the cooking. I'll assign pie and some appetizers to my in-laws. My friend Jen will make rolls. Pretty much standard fair.
Mousse is going to Napa for a thanksgiving as we do every year. I always bring the coffee and tea being in the biz. Due to popular demand because I didn’t make them last year, I’m making my infamous hatch chili bacon, cheddar deviled eggs for noshing predinner. I may also make a pecan ganache tart laced with a bit of chipotle for kick.
Then who’s going to fix me dinner at your house? You said to be there at 5!
Ok. That’s fine. Thanks! For a minute I thought I was in trouble....whew!

Hey S, This is for you. After we took care of all the memorial and estate details for my MIL, we had time for us. We headed out to New Orleans East. Had lunch at St. Roch Market. St. Roch was a grocery store on St. Claude that was destroyed by the evil Katrina. The building came back as a fab. food hall. Fish had gumbo. I had blue crab cakes garnished with a spicy corn sauce. TDF.
Was so glad to read this. My friends and I were on a "girl's trip" to Florence last week-end and we all did some shopping at Casini. I was very tempted by her woven bags but resisted and bought my husband a gorgeous Jennifer Tattanelli thick cashmere cardigan instead, which he loves (I'm a good wife
). My husband and I are going to Italy in February, spending 4 nights in Florence, and will be heading back to Casini to shop there, so glad to read you're happy with the bag. Is it lined in suede the way my BV Olimpia is?Thanks also for the JT caffe tip, we will try it out. By the way, for any TPFers traveling to Florence who want to save money on accommodation so they can spend more on shopping
, my friends and I highly recommend the Palazzo Guadagni, where we stayed. Old-fashioned but charming, only 90 euros a night inc breakfast, and has a beautiful covered balcony overlooking the wonderful Piazza San Spirito and with views of the city and the hills around Florence. Does have airco for warm weather visits.
Did my Thanksgiving shopping yesterday
The biggest bird I could get was 18.75 lbs
I hope it is big enough my son loves leftovers
On another note I start iron infusions Tuesday’s
I hope it gives me enough energy to cook
It is kinda of scary when the doctor says “your hemoglobin and Iron levels are so low why aren’t you dead” thank you Medical man
At least for now they have stopped talking the “c” word
So Tuesday Iron after work they say 2 hrs
Wednesday after work blood transfusion which will take about 8-12 hrs
I figure I will be home around 2 am
I will stuff my turkey and put it breast side down and roast on a slow oven 250 until I get up
It should be done by11
And ohhhhhhh the aroma you wake up to yum yum
Just set table make the appetizers and wait for company
Happy Turkey [emoji884] day everyone
