Thanksgiving photos and weekly meal plan 11.29.10
We had an excellent Thanksgiving here. Everyone fit into our house and the meal turned out great. I learned several things in the thanksgiving meal process. First, it’s much easier to defrost your turkeys in the bath tub; second, that two bags of potatoes make way too much mashed potatoes; and, third, home-made rolls make great sweet potato sandwiches the next day. The next morning instead of shopping we slept in late and then we went and bought our Christmas tree. This is the first time I’ve ever had a real tree and it turned out gorgeous. No, I’m not a black friday shopper. I don’t care for crowds of pushy people who haven’t slept so they are all in terrible moods. I’d rather shop online from my VERY comfortable bed in my pajamas. Saturday, Mom broke into the Christmas stash and let me shoot my gun that I’m getting for Christmas. We all went shooting and it was a blast. I’m slowly getting better!
Here are some photos of our weekend.
I named the turkeys Martin and Herman.
Here is this week’s meal plan.
Tonight: turkey pot pie made with some of the tons of leftover turkey
Tuesday: chicken and rice
Wednesday: pizza (not sure what kind)
Thursday: take out after practice
Friday: special service at church
Happy eating!
