In a few days, we in the U.S. will be getting together with family and friends, or if you’re like me, will be celebrating with a meal for one (as I write this, I only need the game hen because I have everything else, including dessert) and calling family because you have to be at work on Friday and the kinfolk are just a little too far away for a quick trip. But don’t feel sorry for me; if I get in a fight with someone in the family, I can just hang up. Being further away when the parties involved have sharp, pointy objects at their disposal is safer for everyone.
Besides, I have Luke’s ghost to keep me company. At least I know who to blame for the silverware finding its way to the floor.
It won’t be me that gets carved up. Sleep with one eye open, hoomin.

He can have the stuffing. Cornbread dressing is soooo much better.

But thank you for plucking that sucker. It would have taken me all day.

Since I’m just cooking for me, there won’t be much of that. But there will be leftovers. And they’re all mine.

Steps 2 and 3: Close the kitchen door, and put fresh foil in the pan.

I’m gonna be a killjoy here … remember, those foods are too rich for your puppers and kittehs, so it’s best not to give in.
They will make you feel guilty, though. Very guilty.

One of the reasons I had part of what I needed delivered Saturday (and partly because I forgot it last week). But I’ll still have to go to the store today. Pray for me.

I have to get in as much practice as I can. Don’t want to pull a muscle.

That dog in the second picture who was offering to help eat up the rest of the food reminds of my dog.

Yes sometimes Marlow does try to make me feel guilty when I don’t offer to share my food with him. His brown eyes get very big and sad. He gives me this pitiful, pathetic, starving look as if he hasn’t had anything to eat for ten years (Marlow is nine years old).

Dogs have perfected that look. Cats don’t care if they make you feel guilty or not; they want the food, dammit.

Maybe I should send Marlow over to your house on Thanksgiving to help you eat your food because I will be at work that day. He does seem to think he is Dog’s Gift To Women.

But then I’ll have nothing to eat. 😉

As for the cat in the pan, it was just trying to help, right?

Well, the pan looked like a box, its natural habitat!

I will be working on Thanksgiving and we are planning a potluck Thanksgiving meal for that day. When I jokingly offered to bring just my appetite and nothing else, I was told that I would need to bring something besides my appetite.

Well, that’s just not right! 😉
We have a luncheon tomorrow, and I’m taking a pumpkin roll cake, which I worked very hard on selecting from the deli case. Taking it in this morning so it can rest in the newsroom fridge instead of taking up valuable space in mine.

Okay I will keep Marlow at home on Thanksgiving although I would like to take him to work with me.

You don’t have to worry that you won’t have anything to eat if I send Marlow over to your house on Thanksgiving. Remember that Marlow thinks he is Dog’s Gift To Women. He likes women and he will be glad to share your food with you.
