Turkey Day Antici... PATION

I sincerely hope I have my energy back tomorrow, because I have some mad shopping to do, and some serious kitchen time to put in over the next couple of days. I have a dozen-or-so people coming to the house for dinner and games, and I may even light up the ol' fireplace for an extra bit of cozy.

My own nefarious plans for Thanksgiving food include: Toasted Brussels Sprouts w/Almonds & Parmesan, Pumpkin Cheesecake, and possibly a highly-experimental batch of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bacon Cookies. I might also throw down another greenish vegetable, or maybe some mulled wine, if I manage to keep time from getting too far out of my grasp.

AND, I have other folks bringing their own contributions for what's looking like it'll be a truly excellent feast: Turkey, Ham, Gravy, Sweet Potato Casserole, Stuffing, Green Bean Casserole, Mac & Cheese (possibly two kinds!), Garlic Dill Mashed Potatoes, Squash, and Brownies.

Ladies and gents, it's time to get your eatin' pants on. WOOYEA!
