Okay, this is more for my reference than anything else, but here is the planned menu for Thanksgiving 2010:<\/p>\n

Appetizers:<\/p>\n

White Bean Dip with Pine Nuts<\/a> (w\/ pita)<\/p>\n

Cream Cheese, Sausage & Rotel Dip<\/a> (probably w\/ tortilla chips)<\/p>\n

Nuts & Bolts (baked Chex mix, family favorite, using Blanche’s recipe)<\/p>\n

Entree:<\/p>\n

Rib Roast with Garlic and Blue Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

Side Dishes:<\/p>\n

Mashed Potatoes (no recipe, I know how to make those without one as I am super fancy)<\/p>\n

Creamed spinach<\/a><\/p>\n

Rum & Sweet Potato Casserole<\/a><\/p>\n

Pasta Salad<\/a> (leftover from work pitch in on day before Thanksgiving)<\/p>\n

Yeast rolls (heat n’ serve)<\/p>\n

Dessert:<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Crunch<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple Pie<\/a> (I, yes *I* will be making this pie. I made one already a few weeks ago and it was delicious and we both lived. Wooo!)<\/p>\n

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars<\/a> (why bars instead of cookies? Because I am lazy! And have to work all day the day before Thanksgiving!)<\/p>\n

If you’re wondering, these recipes use a combined 75 pounds of butter and a tractor trailer of sugar.<\/p>\n

PS: The menu for the week of Thanksgiving will go something like this:<\/p>\n

Monday: Chili dogs, maybe. I have a helper elf that day so maybe I won’t dirty up the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Tuesday: Grilled cheese, maybe. That’s the day the sofa arrives and the carpets get cleaned. And I have to make pasta salad if Gene hasn’t done it already.<\/p>\n

Wednesday: Inlaws arrive, we are ordering pizza from Donatos. Yum. Much better than Pizza Hut.<\/p>\n

PPS: I cannot tell you how much I wish I had next Wednesday off to get stuff done.<\/p>\n

PPPS: The grocery list is two pages long!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
