Impossible to focus on work! Can't stop thinking about Thanksgiving! Only days away!! *bounce*

Next year, I should save up and just take this damn week off!

So much to do! *white rabbits*

Tonight:

- Grocery shop
- Clean (not much needed, happily)
- Make squaw corn, reserve extra bacon for quiches
- Strain yogurt for dip

Tuesday:

- Make yogurt dip
- Make cornbread for stuffing
- Make carrot cake cheesecake
- iron table linens

Wednesday:

- pre-make rolls for baking on day-of
- make mini quiche mix
- set table (with ironed linens!)
- marinate red grapes in champagne

Thursday:

- chop veggies for crudites
- make stuffing
- make turkey
- bake prepared rolls
- bake prepared mini quiches

I have made zee master grocery list. I'm trying a new turkey and stuffing this year (maple glazed with a cornbread, sage and smoked bacon stuffing --courtesy of Tyler Florence).

God. I can't wait for turkey noodle soup and turkey sandwiches. I love turkey so much, I have no idea why I only make it once a year!

Also, I'm a wee bit out of control on Amazon. Scoop just shipped (Hugh Jackman, purrrr), I bought Psychonauts for $10 for my PS2, and I just bought a pretty bread basket for the aforementioned rolls!

I keep forgetting that it's going to be a bigger group this time and I need to double some recipes since it won't be just me and Sarah and Emily this year! So exciting to have a full, happy table of people!

Ahhhh, must go to meeting and pretend to care!!

We always go a little turkey-crazy here. Patrick gets a free turkey from work, and then we get an ultra-cheap one with purchase at Safeway. Two years ago, one of Pat's co-workers didn't want his, so Patrick brought home two. And then we boaught. So we had three turkeys.

I can eat turkey sandwiches seemingly forever, so it was very cool.

"boaught" is the Slovenian word for "purchased another one."

I eat turkey sandwiches all the time, mm.

What I don't get all the time: stuffing, mm, and carrot cake cheesecake, mm.

Ooooo, that's awesome. I could eat turkey sandwiches forever, too!

But... turkey sandwiches from the deli or homemade turkey sliced?

I think it's a big difference! (for me at least)

*cackle*

Granted. I meant deli-type turkey.

Still good, but not the same thing :D

(And if you're in Seattle over T--weekend, stop by for some carrot cake cheesecake!)

I've already got plans, but thanks! I do need to get back up to Seattle and visit people at some point.

Have fun. And: You do! :)
