I would like some mini marshmallows please tiner. We have Thanksgiving at our house for the five of us. I call it the calm before the "Oh my God why did I marry into a huge family" storm. It is nonstop from here until after New Years. We had a 6 pound turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, cranberry sauce, corn, and two kinds of pie-all homemade, of course. I would be happy to donate a sofa to the fire area. What color are the pillows so I can make a matching cover?
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
Michelle heads toward the place where Metzy is setting up camp, hell no, we won't go, reverberates in her head as she joins her, then wonders if the kareoke microphone can reach us???
I didn't have ANY leftovers because we went to someone elses house for Thanksgiving. That is why I am cooking another dinner on Monday for ourselves. I desperately need turkey leftovers.
I'm making garlic mashed potatoes, 13 pd turkey, sausage stuffing, applesauce sweet potatoes and the dough for the rolls is rising as we speak.
Of course, green bean casserole too. (Bertha, e-mail me and I have 5-6 yams/sweet potato recipes for you. I really hate them but they are obligatory holiday fare. So I am always looking to make them better. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
I too, hope we don't get evicted!

Our turkey was 22 lbs and was free, compliments of one of our local grocery stores, Basha's. We didn't go any where, but I did drive 4 hours each way to Phoenix on both Wednesday and Friday, to enable our oldest son to be here for the holiday. 16 hours of driving and I still managed to get all the cooking and baking done...
I've got to run... I want to make some big, fat, overstuffed pillows for everyone to sit on around the fireplace...

One cup of hot chocolate coming up....Would you like marshmallows or whip cream in it? YUMMY!!
Since winter is coming, I took the liberty have having my hubby build us a fireplace. I have some chairs pulled up close to it but we need to get some couches. Anyone have any ideas? If anyone is hungry, I have a 21 pound turkey that needs to be eaten. My friend in MA is having a 30 pound turkey---I couldn't even carry one that big!!!! HOw big was your turkey and where did you go for thanksgiving?

I would love some hot chocolate. I don't have any leftovers either. My husband works nights with a bunch of single guys and he takes all our leftovers for them to eat. Has anyone seen the video for I Love This Bar? Funny stuff.

TheMetzyMom stumbles in with her arms loaded with what looks like chains and locks...)
Happy Holidays Ya'll!!! Maybe the reason you had no leftovers is because everything was soooooo good that it all got eaten!!!
Everyone go on doing what you're doing. I'm just going to make myself busy over here...
TheMetzyMom heads for the jukebox and picks "I Love This Bar" by Toby Keith. She then saunters over to the bar and proceeds to chain herself to the bar... she keeps mumbling something about the 60's, protests, and some sort of post about compromise...
