Post subject: | Your Thanksgiving Menu? |
What did/will you celebrate with today? Our table included: Ham Slow Cooker Oregano Potatoes Sweet Potato Casserole (here- but modified greatly http://blissfulyogajourney.blogspot.com/2015/09/vegan-mofo-share-something-vegan-with.html) Green Beans Vinaigrette Brussels Sprouts Rolls Cucumber Tomato Salad Apple Cobbler/crumble - (whatever you wanna call it) Assorted beverages (Proper dessert still to come later - brownies or ice cream bars : ) And you - what's your holiday menu? As it happened, we had a last minute change of plans, since DD has been sick & we couldn't go out. I'm not into the Thanksgiving holiday, and just try to make it nice for DD- and I thought we needed something more than being just-us-at-home. But it turned out to be great. DD LOVED helping me cook- so much so that she said, "I hope this is as fun to eat as it is to make : )" And we've really enjoyed our little family day at home. Howabout you? |

I had a green bean/tofu/mushroom stir-fry, mashed potato w gravy, stuffing, and cranberry salad. That was more than enuf for me! I don't really need the stuffing AND the potatoes, tho'. |

Sounds pretty yummy! I never thot of stir-fry for Thanksgiving! (Tho I have a friend who was hosted by Chinese-Americans one year for the holiday, and they had potstickers and a variety of other traditional Chinese foods : ) Is your DH well enuf to eat? Were you joined by anyone else? (since you said "I," I'm wondering) I thought about mashed potatoes - I don't make them, I buy them ; ) but decided the other potatoes would go over better with the family : ) |

Honestly, Thanksgiving was not a good day for us. Dh had said some things that did not go down well with me. I slept in the guest room (a first) and then went off to work this morning without seeing him. He kind of demanded i "wash the dishes before coming to bed". There was a lid to wash. It would've been easy enuf but..... sigh. It was the principle of the thing! I washed the dishes this morning - after emptying more from the fridge and lunch bag. Ugh. He said he prayed "for hours" last night and he is much better today. He is never a good communicator but he's been absolutely awful this week! I just don't feel i can play into it. Now things are looking sketchy for getting to Spokane on monday! We have 4 cars. Dd totaled hers so we gave her one to use. Grandson's is in the shop so we gave him another one to use. Now dh's is in the shop waiting for a part with instructions NOT to use it! That leaves mom's 2 seater!!! We needed dh's or the one dd is using to get the 4 of us to Spokane on monday with the 2 dogs and a bird! The Lord knows what's going on, right? Big deep breath. And dh said not to stress. If nothing else comes up he'll ask for a ride to Spokane from ds or ? Just relying on our Father in Heaven to work this out as He has so many other details. (*I* just like to know the plan ahead of time!!!) |

Isn't Monday his procedure? Call your Church and ask them to help you find a ride. Call this number & ask for help. https://www.cancer.org/treatment/support-programs-and-services/patient-transportation.html Call the hospital and ask for advice. All else fails, call uber. I'm SO sorry you're both dealing with all these difficult emotions right now Lots of prayers. |

It's about another $100 for an XL and i'm not sure they'd transport animals! I think things are working out, tho'. |

I wish I could come get you! (Tho, to be fair, my car couldn't hold you & your pets even if I COULD drive over there to help!) $150. isn't bad, considering But, I appreciate that unaffordable is unaffordable. I'm glad things seem to be working out. If all else fails, you can rent a car/van for a few days, if the budget allows. Also, any neighbors or friends who might pet-sit? |
