Thanksgiving eve...

...let the cooking begin! Of course, the most important thing that happens today is that my kid comes home! I pick her up at the airport (ugh) this morning.

On tap today is making the stuffing (well, dressing; I never stuff the turkey anymore), the desserts, and prepping the yams for the casserole tomorrow. Oh yeah, and getting the bird in the brine.

I'm making a variation of my wild rice and bread dressing. I'm using more brown rice plus the white and wild rice mix I usually use, and I'm using some whole wheat bread with the white and sour dough breads. I can't vary it too much because the family likes it as it is. The dressing has sauteed apples which give it a nice flavor.

I also need to do the final mop and cleanup in the kitchen, but that won't happen until tonight.

As promised, I have a photo of the mitten, such as it is.

It's hard to take a picture of something gray, so you don't get the full effect of how wonderful this color is -- take my word for it! LOL! I'll be able to get back to knitting this on Friday.

Off to cook now....Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
