And there is so much to be done!
For starters, there are cupcakes, Chex Mix, and a cake for Sunday.
But there's also a turkey to bake, pies to bake, potatoes to bake (and then mash), casseroles to bake, bread to bake... You get the idea.
I'm in charge of desserts, though, so that's why I'm making cupcakes today. And maybe some cookies, if there's time. (Chocolate chip cookies, except we're out of chocolate chips. Gee, I guess I'll just have to use the dark chocolate M&M's...) I can't remember if Dad bought a pecan pie or not at Kroger today, but I sure hope so. I love pecan pie.
The Chex Mix, I am aware, is not a dessert, but it is a family staple, and as I wandered down the cereal aisle at Kroger for what seemed like the hundreth time, I saw the box of Rice Chex, the box of Wheat Chex, and the box of Corn Chex. And I realized: we have to have Chex Mix. Normally my mom or aunt makes it, but I seem to recall that last year, either everyone forgot or they thought someone else was making it when in fact, no one was. So I took it upon myself this year to make the Chex Mix.
And what about Sunday? Sunday is the first day of Advent. I know! It snuck up on me too! I had so much on my plate that I totally forgot that this is the last week of the liturgical calendar! So, of course, as a tradition, I have to make a cake. I already have a really good, tasty plan formulated, which I shall share in the near future.
As I am baking up a storm and trying not to make a mess in the kitchen, so that there's enough room to make a mess tomorrow, I shall leave you with this amazing video that I found on YouTube:
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I just want to let you know that I am very thankful for all of you for your kind comments, suggestions, and ideas. All the comments and e-mails I recieve from my wonderful blog readers means so much to me! It's been a year since my first post (actually, I'm 2 days late), but it's been a great year and I look forward to many more! I could not have done it without all of you: THANK YOU!
