Preppers Unite
As we roll into one of the great American holidays. Please share what you do with your family. Do you have any tricks or tips for making the day eventful (in a good way)? I always fret about thawing the turkey in time. Do you have a special dish that you like or one that you absolutely dislike but make because your family loves it? Anything you do in advance to save time on Thanksgiving?
Let’s dish……

dd1 does our family Thanksgiving dinner at her house. I’m responsible for green bean casserole, stuffin’ muffins, and this year I’m also doing yams. Debating if some of these things could be made the day before, refrigerated, then baked prior to going to their house. Thinking I’d rather be watching parades than spending all day in the kitchen. idk dd2 usually brings pies, I think. Mom is told to bring herself, but usually brings the little cherry cheesecakes(with the vanilla wafer in the bottom) and maybe an extra pumpkin pie. If someone told me to just bring myself…might take them up on it. lol

we usually have turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, green beans, sweet potatoes maybe
i don’t like sweet potatoes
actually there’s a thanksgiving dinner somewhere we love to eat tonight that i want to go to – i’d rather do that than thursday π³ , but i don’t know if i’m up to going tonight π
7 dee said,
November 16, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
i do turkey, green beans, taters, rolls and a corn custard that i love!
dh likes sweet potatoes the southern way with marshmallows and stuff. he also likes me to make something called ambrosia salad with coconut, mandarin oranges, marshmallows and mayo……sounds gross, but is pretty good.
my gramma always made cornbread stuffing…..not sure what i am gonna do this year…

dee – i like ambrosia – we do that or a fruit salad with coolwhip or a congealed or something too usually
i learned to make cornbread dressing last year – we make cornbread dressing baked in a pan, not stuffed

yes FFQ and I want to see it, not looking good for FFQ though, on top of chores not done and/or done well she allowed an older girl to convince her to be sneaky, lie and hide what they were doing from me, as the older girl knew it wasn’t right but told FFQ to do it anyway… she is getting removed from friends lists and blocked. I won’t have that.

I just found out that my mom threw away about 75% of my webkinz and didn’t even bother telling me.
When i moved into this room over the summer i put most of my webkinz in plastic bins in the basement because i didn’t have room for them in here and i told my mom not to mess with them and she said she wouldn’t. At the end of the summer a pipe in our basement burst and my dad had to take out the concrete to fix it and it left our entire basement covered in concrete dust. I went down there to check on them and they seemed to be fine because the bins had lids on them. I went down there to get my reindeer and snowman because i wanted to put them in my room for the holidays but i couldn’t find the bin. When i asked my mom where it was she said that they probably got thrown out because the dust got in the bins. She couldn’t at least told me when she did it; i could’ve tried cleaning them. I’ve spent well over $1000 on those things and she just throws them away without a second thought and without telling me and now all i have are the few that i left in my room.
