Thanksgiving is a little
over two weeks away. I am polishing silver and cleaning up the guest rooms in
anticipation of friends and family arriving. This week, I have started to
prepare some side dishes and pies to freeze for the Thanksgiving feast. We usually
have guests from Wednesday to Saturday so I prepare more than turkey.
My favorite Pilgrim from last year!!!
I am also finishing up my
planning for our Christmas parties, menus and the family Christmas card. The
Christmas Eve Open House invite is designed and at the printers. Do we still print
cards?
My classes are knee deep in
homework, exams, projects and a general fatigue from the students that the
semester is not over. At this point, students are ready for the holidays and a
break in the fall semester. They are as excited for home cooked meals and
Christmas as little children. You cannot imagine how much they long for home
cooking.
Lastly, holiday baking has
begun. This week I am freezing two different types of cookie dough and banana
bread. So needless to say, this menu reflects the busy week:
