It is a BEE YOU TIF AL day here at the Jersey Shore. And I haven't been out of the house. The day after Thanksgiving day....and I haven't done a thing all day. A little bit of crocheting, a little TV ( I'm watching Achmed the Terrorist) and trying to find the Dashboard for my blog. We had the usual Thanksgiving. I purposely cut back on some of the work. Bought those mashed potatoes that you find in the cold section of the supermarket. I put them in a nice dish, added some butter and wa la!!, no one knew the difference. Instead of the ususal lazagna, I bought 2 and a half pounds of already made lobster ravioli, and it went over quite well. Pretty good with a white sauce, add a little grated cheese and butter----not bad! The next step, I am still a little embarassed about. If you don't think you can handle it, stop right here!-!-!
I used paper plates. There, i said it. Now its out in the open. I thought about it last year. Then reconsidered. but, you know, I'm not getting any younger. And it's SO much work, cooking and cleaning and preparing for a big dinner. Well, since it's only the immediatly family.....no one cared. And in the end it was a lot less cleaning up. I washed all the pots before they came and the plates went in the trash. Silverware was the only thing left to wash. So Paper Plates it is for next year.
