Happy Thanksgiving
Okay so I am better now after I got something to eat. Everything came out great given we were cooking with half a kitchen lol
We had:
Turkey Roast - Save A Lot has turkey breast in throw away dishes.
"mashed" potatoes with the skins - Brian chopped up a bunch of potatoes while I was cleaning Kiernan's room. He left the skins on and I washed them and threw them in a pot with water, minced onion, butter, and Mrs Dash. When they finished I drained them and threw in more butter and a little milk and smushed them a bit. Not much though...Both of us prefer them lumpy. :)
Green Bean Casserole - I had mixed the cream of chicken soup (Don't like mushrooms), some cheese, and sour cream up with the green beans and went to grab the French fried onions. We didn't have any. Argh. So I improvised with minced onions and more cheese. :) It was baked in our awesome medium sized ceramic casserole dish.
Sweet Potatoes - This was cheated even more than the turkey... I opened a can of sweet potatoes, dumped it in the smallest ceramic casserole dish, topped it with some brown sugar and threw it in the oven. Yum! We didn't have any marshmallows though... :/
Corn - Canned corn cooked with butter and Mrs dash
Mac and cheese - another cheat...it was kraft mac and cheese. We're working on eliminating that too..but I LOVE it. :D
Deviled eggs - I usually make them with Hellman's, pickle juice, a teensy bit of relish, and top with paprika. Well, all we had was relish and miracle whip. Yuck. :/ But they tasted okay. :)
Cranberry sauce - I had bought a bunch of cans of it for Kiernan back in May...she LOVES the stuff. So I opened one up today and she and Brian split it as I hate the stuff.
And Brian made crystal lite. :)
We ate all the sweet potatoes and most of the corn... we have one piece of turkey left and enough of everything else for Brian to have lunch tomorrow. :) Kiernan and I will be finishing off the pizza in the fridge from the other night. :)
As far as work on the house... Kiernan's room has been moved around. I think I like the way her furniture is now. Brian has been sorting out all of our clothes today that are in the dozen or so GIANT garbage bags in the closet. I'm going to help him some more now and maybe we'll get it done tonight! :) Once we get the laundry sorted and the rest of the stuff in the kitchen done, we can put the bookshelf where its going to go and put the books away. Then we just have to finish sorting out the junk that's sitting in our room. We won't be able to finish our room til Sunday though... We have to go to his mom's to get the block to go under our bed. :)
We're getting there. I swear.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
