Day 26 Thanksgiving prep
I take this week off to do Thanksgiving. Well, I take off Monday-Wednesday, we get Thursday-Friday.
So I grocery shopped yesterday. Found a turkey-less roast at Trader Joe's for my niece, then went to my regular grocery store for everything else. Except the turkey, which I got a couple of weeks ago and has been in my dad's freezer. I always buy the turkey early so I don't end up with the choice of 12 or 22 pounds.
Today was house cleaning. It's kinda my spring cleaning day. Tomorrow will be the start of cooking. I'll do the pies, the appetizer, fruit salad, and fudge. And also prep some things, like saute the celery and onion for the stuffing. If I do enough on Wednesday, then I have time on Thursday to watch the parade.
People seem occasionally surprised that I do all the cooking, but I like it. I don't know why, as otherwise I'm not much for hosting.
I'm not sure I've written a fic set during Thanksgiving, which seems strange, as it's a major holiday for me. It's certainly the one I spend the most concentrated time on.
I did post a fic yesterday, yay! But otherwise not much else exciting to say. Spent the day dusting and mopping and occasionally letting the cat out and then letting her back in five minutes later because the rain and wind are ferocious. I'm very glad I'm not traveling.
