Thanksgiving has been kind of a non-holiday for me since John died. He always prepared a feast but I haven’t put forth any effort and last year’s carry-out from the South Club was awful!!

Anyway, I volunteered to fix dinner for two friends who had no where to go. I have most of the groceries purchased and a time-table ready to follow. I hope it turns out like John’s would have.

We’ll enjoy an eight-pound turkey breast, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, cranberry sauce (with nuts, strawberries, and other good stuff), jellied cranberries, scalloped corn, rolls & butter, sweet potato casserole, and relishes. I left the preparation of the dessert to Connie but I will have a Dutch apple pie in the freezer if it’s needed.

But why did I volunteer? This is work!! I have detailed everything I have to do and it will be ready by 2pm Thursday. I don’t want it to look too difficult but I never claimed to be a good cook.

Betcha it’ll be better than last year’s disaster.
