Cook Thanksgiving dinner

we’re loading up and traveling to Denver in the morning, G. Ruth will be going to my cousins. I just got back from the store. The menu is pretty traditional this year:

Stuffed Mushrooms
Green Beans w/ fried onions
Mashed Potatoes w/ gravy
Stuffing
Sweet Potatoes
Kabocha Squash
Crescent rolls
Cranberry Sauce
Stuffed Corn Bread
Smoked Ham
Cornish Game Hens
Cheese Cake, Pumpkin, Cherry and Apple Pie

a little differently than expected. Our brothers work on Wednesday night and Friday so they’re not wanting to make the 2 hour drive each way. Our friend Shad has to work on Thanksgiving too. My dad is going to be harvesting all day and no one is going to pick up my Grandma Ruth from the assisted living center where she lives. So I am conflicted. At first when I heard that shad and our brothers weren’t going to make it I was going to pack up half of the kitchen and drive up to Denver to make them dinner. But now since my G. Ruth isn’t going with other family I was thinking that maybe I should just pick her up but my cousin on the other side of the family is having thanksgiving at her house and I know she would be welcome over there and we could still go to Denver. Since I’ve been suffering from indecisiveness lately we probably won’t know what we’re doing until Wednesday night or even Thursday morning.

it’s my favorite holiday. We usually have our brothers and a couple of friends over. I cook a ridiculously large meal and we drink the newest micro-brews offerings and we watch movies, listen to music and play games and some years we even watch football.

I have already started planning the meal. I think we’re going to have Cornish game hens and pheasant. I already asked Fox and Shad they both said they’d be here :)I am So excited only 25 days until Thanksgiving!
