Thanksgiving Preparation

Chad invited a guy from work and his wife over for Thanksgiving.  Had it been just us I wouldn’t worry about when everything would be done so we could eat.  If we ate at noon fine, if not, fine.  But since we will be having company the pressure is on to make sure we eat at a decent time.  So, in a feeble attempt to do just that we started our cooking for Thanksgiving yesterday.  I got up and made the cornbread for the stuffing.  I think we started that a bit late.  Hopefully it will go stale before tomorrow.  Then I made Spinach dip.  The moment Chad walked in from work he started eating it, and the threat that I was going to break his fingers if he didn’t stay out of the dip fell on deaf ears.  So, now I have to make more.  The pumpkin pie was not one of the food items that made the “Things we want to eat for Thanksgiving” list.  Thanksgiving without pumpkin something or other just seemed wrong to me, so I decided on a pumpkin roll instead.  Cody likes to bake, so she got that job.  She did a good job on it.  It tasted really good.  Now, she has to make another one.  At the rate we are going we are going to have to order pizza for Thanksgiving dinner.

Today we are going to be doing the rest of the cooking and baking.  Hopefully there will be enough left over for Thursday.
