I had a great Thanksgiving and I am in a miserable happy place Yesterday I consumed two Thanksgiving dinners; way too much dessert and excessive carbs. Now the kitchen counter is filled with pie and the 'fridge with leftovers.
Wednesday was a long day. I woke early (5:30). I worked most of the day. I did a load of laundry. I put up the Christmas lights on the house. This involves several ladders and crawling around on the roof for a spell. The wife and I went out for a quick bite to eat. I came home and made Overnight Salad (some call it seven layer salad). I then made a pumpkin torte. While this is not hard, it requires several steps. I forgot the ingredients have to cool in between steps, so I did not finish until about 2:30 in the ay em. Part of the delay is my own fault. I forgot to get milk when I bought all of my ingredients. Lucky for me I had just enough left in the jug for my recipe. Until a little after midnight when the boy came out to the kitchen for a snack of cookies and milk. He finished what I had reserved for my torte! So off to the store I went to get a gallon of milk.I was not the only shopper grabbing Thanksgiving meal ingredients at 1:00 am.
Thursday morning I finished off the cooking by preparing Oreo Delight. Then we packed the car and headed off to the north central part of the Hoosier State to spend Thanksgiving with my family and later in the evening the Wife's family. We returned home just before midnight.
Today I have to finish the outside decorating -- put up the wreaths and string some lights in the cherry tree. Then I can begin to put up the trees in the house. Yes, I said trees. The wife loves her Christmas decorating.
On the bright side, I won't be anywhere near the shopping malls!
Have a great Friday.
You must come over to my blog. I have something for you. Trust me, just when you think you can't eat one more thing...
