A wonderful Thanksgiving


We had a wonderful day yesterday. I hope you did, too. It was rather low-key, but equally enjoyable. We had Chad's parents over. We spent the day watching movies, playing games, putting up the tree and talking. Always a bit of Medeiros humor(notice the picture of turkey). I think I've found the key to the perfect, low stress Thanksgiving dinner: part homemade....and part, well, not homemade! Seriously, if you can find delicious rolls and potatoes made by someone else, why not? Cuts my time and stress way down! I did however, make the turkey, stuffing, apple pie and appetizers. Chad's mom helped with the yams, cranberry sauce and other treats. It was a delicious dinner. This year, my friend suggested I add sausage to the stuffing. Have you tried that? Mmm...very good! We really had a great time just hanging out together. At the end of the night, Peggy and I made a pact to go two weeks without sugar (I have to take baby steps!). I have never, ever committed to something like this...please wish me luck!


PS...Can anyone help with Photoshop? I went to to my normal canvas/photo collage and after cropping the photos and trying to move them to the new canvas, they are huge! I checked the crop and canvas size and everything looks right...any suggestions?? I hate not being able to do the photo collages.

Glad you all had a great holiday! Im with you on the some from the box help on Thanksgiving - although I usually buy Stove Top, and pies. When we went to Todd's folks house we actually had to wait for the mashed potatoes because they were forgotten!

hey girlie - do you know about ctrl+T after selecting a photo, it gives you the "handles" and then you can resize from there...hope that helps.

Your turkey looks awesome. I love Thanksgiving dinner. Mike and I think we should make a turkey more than once a year. Everyone loves it and its not that hard when you use a bag to cook it in. Anyway glad you had a fun Thanksgiving.

What a cook! It is such a big ordeal! Looks fab...keep up on the no sugar thing your body goes into shock and then slowly, slowly the desire for it is not as strong. :)
