This year we decided to continue our new tradition of having the men and the younger girls in charge of Thanksgiving dinner. I put Hope in charge of the menu so we will at least have some vegetables. We have the "who gets the oven tonite" problem, but I think we figured that out. Joe started with his cheesecake last night and Ezekiel will be able to make the rolls tonight and dad gets it at 3AM on T-day. My job is to stay available for questions, but stay low-profile on the comment/advice section. If you see me on Friday I might not have a tongue anymore!
Checking his "cookbook". He is primed to be "happy for a long time" when he gets his new phone in eight days. The nine-month-old one just does do it anymore.
The recipe called for placing the cheesecake in a pan of hot water...he hopes to avoid a cracked cheesecake this year.
I stayed out of the kitchen and repaired a quilt...apparently quilts make good mouse-house building material.
Gotta add this story. My parents have a cabin in the mountains and after deer hunting season they winterize the place and usually don't re-open till spring. They leave some supplies like extra bedding in the cabin. One spring when they opened the one blanket they discovered that one industrious mouse had nibbled all the knots out of the tied comforter. Thankfully that mouse thought the string and not the fabric was good bedding material....so mom re-tied the comforter and gave it a good washing and it was ready to use again.
This is in the fridge this morning...it does have cracks. He will need to do some research for next year, though he says he is DONE making cheese cakes.
