Then on Wednesday night (Thanksgiving Eve) he changed his mind. LOL<br /><br />Thankfully I already had cranberries in the freezer, fresh green beans and just had to get a small turkey breast, 1 large sweet potato and the bread cubes for the dressing. I would normally have made my dressing and pie homemade but no time for that so I bought a frozen pumpkin pie. It all turned out lovely.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251936768042830801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-51192598067669392332015-11-24T07:06:02.241-05:002015-11-24T07:06:02.241-05:00I usually do a freezer/pantry challenge for the mo...I usually do a freezer/pantry challenge for the month of January, and we're planning on it again this year. I have most of the month before my surgery on the 22nd, so much of it will be used to prepare ahead for those first few weeks after. <br />Turkey prices have been nowhere near as good here as you got. We purchased one bird fresh, and cooked the two from last year. There is enough turkey for a "few" sandwiches. :) Jess will be gifted another one at Christmas, so we're not looking to buy any more until next year. Oh, and we have a breast in the freezer, too. <br />I do feel blessed to have such bounty.

Thank goodness the pantry and freezer was stocked up. Got to use up so much stuff with only buying loss leaders and a few necessities here and there. Going to someone's house for Thanksgiving and don't really want to but they are my mother in law's friends and she's 80 and my husband is her only living child / relative so that's that.<br />This is a bitter sweet holiday for me since I have spent Thanksgiving with my mom and dad the last 4 years and now dad is gone. His birthday is two days after thanksgiving so we are having Dad'sgiving on Sunday just me and my husband and my grown son who will miss Thanksgiving day due to work. Hopefully this will be a sweet memory and tribute to my dad who loved Thanksgiving. Just wish we had enough people for the annual quarter poker game. But most of the family is out of state in Oregon. Oh well, dad will be there in spirit. Glad I have a 10 lb turkey in the freezer I got on sale in Dec. last year. Needed to use it up!<br />Take care and have a great holiday.

I need to get through this week of family in from out of town and too much to get done before I can work on that. <br /><br />I have a detailed list to get done everyday this week and then it will all be over before I know it!<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving all!Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-69748839165418634302015-11-23T02:32:16.128-05:002015-11-23T02:32:16.128-05:00Nice work Terri!

Your Thanksgiving dinner sounds luscious, and I think we'll be having one as a salute to our American friends this weekend. We love turkey breast too as there is only three of us at home, but I'll keep my eyes peeled, as yes, there's so much meat in a Turkey!
