Mom: Look...It's right here! "Simplify Thanksgiving by buying your whole meal pre-cooked from the deli"! Cathy: WHAT?? Mom, you watch every cooking show...study every cookbook...send me thousands of recipes......And you want to buy a pre-cooked meal from the deli for Thanksgiving?? Mom: Why send a mixed message when you can send one that's whisked, julienned, marinated, parboiled and pureed? Cathy: I give up. Dad: Mother always overdoes for the holidays.

My step mother used to have tons of cookbooks that she enjoyed reading just for the sake of reading them. She never made any of the recipes in them. That seemed like such a waste to me. But this is so much worse.

Where all the tiring fun. We here will smoke are turkey with hickory chips. We don’t have a fryer and I don’t think I want one have to be super carefull of a fryer so doesn’t catch buildings on fire. The ones coming to our home will be bring different dishes. For sweet potatoes instead of marshmallows I will use crumb topping with nuts. I have to agree Cathy’s strip is a downer. I hope the strip has good weather here in Kansas are weather will be in the 50”s no snow.
