It's almost that time of year... Thanksgiving.
Last year was so much fun! We had my brother and his family over as well as my sister and her husband and I cooked the bird. This year we are going to have dinner with my mom's extended family. Guess what I was assigned to bring? The drinks (something other than just root beer) and the olives. I have often wondered why they never assign me to cook something. Would it be so shocking if I showed up with a cooked item -- something that I actually made and not just purchased at the store? A few years ago I could understand because we lived in what I can affectionately term as "the mouse poop kitchen". But now.... Hum. Something to consider.
I'm beginning to wish I had acted on the original plan -- cheap cost on a hotel room in Vegas. Think of all the buffets. I wouldn't have had to worry about cooking OR bringing some spiked soda (spiked with caffeine, that is) OR the olives.

I want to go to Vegas! That sounds like a lot of fun. I will be there too :)
I usually get assigned potatoes, so this year I asked ahead of time to do dessert. Way more fun than peeling 20 lbs. of potatoes! Hope you have a great holiday!
