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.
Nothing wrong with country china. We didn't even use that. We met my daughters in San Antonio, had a lovely meal, and left overs for today. Good to see you here with your pretty yellow bus.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been away from reading for so long. It's so hard to keep up with all the blogs I read sometimes. Blogger now offers an email subscription you can add to your sidebar. It's great. When you make an entry in your blog, it comes straight to my inbox. It makes keeping up so much easier. Have a good week!
