    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! The turkey is cooking, I can tell, but I'm afraid to delve too deeply into it for fear of being enlisted in the preparation.

    @Ken Anderson , that is seriously funny , and I can just see that thought spinning around in your brain, along with smelling the turkey roasting and wondering if it is done enough yet to sneak a nibble or two.

    Yesterday , we went to Walmart and my Sweetie Pie bought me one of the electric turkey roasters, and that made the preparations much simpler.
    I made the potato salad yesterday, and then got the stuffing all made and the turkey ready to cook before we went to bed.
    This morning, all I had to do was turn on the turkey roaster, and then the extra stuffing that I was cooking in the Ninja.
    We just had a simple meal, and Robin came over to enjoy the dinner with us; so it was a wonderful day, and lots of leftovers for turkey soup later.
    Now, it is time for a nap and relax.
    Hoping that everyone else has a wonderful Thanksgiving, too ! !

    We have the traditional TG foods, Micki...turkey, dressing, etc. Extended family meet at my MIL's house and everyone brings a dish (or two.) Big crowd with kids screaming, babies crying, grownups gossiping, etc. :D

    I have never cared about the black Friday sales but my sister-in-law and nieces are "those crazies" that get to the stores before they open. I'm more of a Cyber Monday gal. :D

    I suppose the traditions will change when my MIL dies but thankfully she's still going strong at 85.

    I wouldn't go shopping on Black Friday even if they were giving away FREE stuff. :D

    Except for my daughter, Robin, we really don’t have any family even remotely close to us (hence the reason I was so happy to take the trip out to Washington to visit last week), so for Bobby and I , holidays are mostly the same as every other day.
    I love roasted turkey, and cranberries, and leftover turkey, and just all of the stuff that goes with a Thanksgiving Dinner, so we usually cook a turkey, even though it is just the two of us, and Robin , if she is working in town that week.
    I am checking turkey prices in the stores, but we do not have any room in the freezer to store a turkey, so we will probably not buy one until closer to the holiday.
    That being said, I am already enjoying nibbles of my first can of cranberries, and have another one waiting, should this can not make it all the way to Thanksgiving.
    Eggnog is also a possibility......

    I love cranberry sauce, @Yvonne Smith . My favorite is homemade, using a bag of those fresh cranberries... so tart and fabulous.
