Give Thanks and Hugs

I wish ya'll could smell my kitchen right now and that's not a statement I'd normally make, believe me.

I've got a big ol' ham in the oven right next to a pan of cornbread, which will eventually become stuffing. I probably should have made the cornbread ahead of time, but once it's all mushed up together with some onions, celery and a box of Stove Top (don't ask, it's just how I do it) it's not going to matter that much. I've got a can of fruit cocktail in the cabinet, which I'll drain a little, add a heaping spoon of mayo then whip it all up and stick in the fridge. Right before it hits the table I'll add a chopped apple and banana.

Don't snarl your nose, I know mayo in fruit cocktail sounds ickypoo.. but it's good stuff. I wouldn't lie to you.

There will also be mashed taters, green beans and rolls.

And pumpkin pie, with Dream Whip.

We'll probably have enough to eat on for a few days, unless there's a great hillbilly kinfolk invasion. Let's pray that doesn't happen.

Hug your youngins, your critters and anyone else you're thankful for. Count your blessings. That's what it's all about, right?

Gobble Gobble ya'll!
