thanksgiving plans.....
well it should be an interesting thanksgiving holiday.....i'll be spending turkey day with eric's family! not that big of a deal in that i've met his parents and grandparents numerous times....had dinner over at Granny's house several times.....so that won't really be new! of course i can't possibly be happy with just going with the flow, so i've taken on the task of actually bringing the sweet potato casserole!!! ECK!!! what is it about holiday's at "in-laws" that makes a girl, who is just as happy not cooking, need desperately to prove her culinary skills by bringing some sorta offering??! I'm sure Stacie will love to comment on that ridiculous paradigm......
So I'm a bit nervous about cooking for everyone.....I originally offered to bring a pie, but Eric informed me that pies were loaded territory so I had him call Granny and offer my services for the sweet potato casserole! I've helped Rita make it loads of times, but I've never actually made it by myself without her supervision! At least if I screwed up the pie there would be others for people to eat......now that I'm bringing a main course, so to speak, I'm kinda nervous about screwing it up!!!! Eric is known in his family for being an extremely good cook, a fact that makes me super happy since I'm very willing to let him be the chef, but it also kinda sets the bar high for me!!! Eric's Granny is like a super-chef...and while she really likes me I have a feeling I will go further in her estimation if I bring a wonderful dish to the proverbial family table!!!
in other news.......my new car is amazing....although i'm kinda sad that i'm already putting so many miles on it with my trips to baton rouge....oh well! it is pretty and clean and will remain so!!!!
