Hope for the Holidays

Got through Thanksgiving with my dignity intact and no trips by me or my family to the drug store or emergency room.  I discovered a few things along the way, however:

• Gas stoves put out a LOT of heat.


• It’s a little scary making something that you normally wouldn’t eat yourself.


• A grill makes a fine heat source for warming something.


• An electric blanket is wonderful for making bread rise in a timely fashion.


• There really is no line between breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Thanksgiving.


• I can make a WONDERFUL caramel apple pie.


• I wish I had two stomachs. I hate cooking all this and not being able to try all of it.

Thanksgiving is still an underrated holiday in my book, with Halloween following a close second.
